before anything, i just want to say that i don't need anyone here saying "oh yeah there are no gaming laptops under $1000" because there are, but of course those wont run Crysis 3 at mid-high settings, and im not expecting to get a ultra powerful laptop at $799 but i know there is decent stuff out there. so to start i got to say i'll be buying it from ebay and already saw some good choices. if the computer is like new or is barely used i don't mind getting a manufacture refubished computer because it was at display at some store. im upgrading from a Radeon HD 6470 i5-2430m, at house i have a gaming computer which has 16gb RAM, GTX 760 TF, I5-4570.

i wan't to hear laptop ideas, i do want a portable one as for i spend alot of time out of house and from now to then i have some hours to play and believe me, its no fun to play on an HD 6470 -_-... i saw some good ASUS laptops and also thought about getting a mint condition pricedware ehm i mean alienware, like this ones:

or others like this:

those look like good deals to me,

any suggestions?

Good choice, you will not be disappointed. My Y500 has been the best laptop I've ever owned. And I've had Toshiba, Dell, Acer, and HP. The configuration on yours is very similar to my Y500 (15.6" screen, i7-3620M, 8GB RAM, 24GB SSD cache, 1TB HD, Geforce GTX 750M).

I'd tread extremely carefully buying from eBay - verify with the seller to make sure the item is what you want and it's in proper working order before buying. Definitely go with the Lenovo over the Alienware, it's what I have and it's easily one of the best laptops I've ever owned. Alienware is a glorified Dell brand and they are extremely overrated if you ask me.

looks powerful for the price.

I don't really know much about Vizio as a laptop vendor, my TV is a Vizio. The bad thing with the first laptop is that a 32GB SSD as the only storage device will get very frustrating as that will barely hold a Windows installation after formatting. Get the Lenovo.
