I would really not recommend a laptop for gaming, low profile hardware will cause overheating if it doesn't have adequate cooling, and the fact that it is a laptop limits its life because of the inability to swap out parts. I would recommend just upgrading your current machine or building a new desktop computer. I built a computer back in January for about $300, and it can play Halo 1 and 2 maxed, as well as games such as Team Fortress 2, Dead Space, Borderlands, and other somewhat new games maxed out at playable framerates.
If you absolutely need the portability of a laptop, then sure buy it, but its definitely alot cheaper to build a desktop gaming computer than to buy a prebuilt one or a laptop.
If you do want to build a desktop I would recommend going with a motherboard that supports the AM3 socket and supports at least 8 gigs of ram, as well as a PCIe x16 2.0 slot, or 2 if you want the possibilty to have multiple cards in crossfire if you want more power down the road. The AM3 socket supports a wide array of chipsets from the low budget sempron series all the way up to the Phenom II x2, x3, x4, and the new x6 chipset as well, its a really awesome slot if you ask me.

I really appreciate everyones help! But can everybody post links of Staples Laptops with great Video Cards installed already? Good for gaming, with lots of space, and something that will last me a while.
Make sure the price is descent :)
You all mean so much to me.
...Great... At least you we're honest. I have to admire that of you, since I was going to buy that laptop, I decided to check back here for people who would make comments on Laptops in general. Thank you.
Back on subject then. I need a desktop... Nothing 799.99$ and above.
If you are going to buy that laptop, make sure you get a laptop cooler to go with it.
For the desktop, I'll build you a list tomorrow as I need to go to bed. :o
