last year this time I bought the MSI ge60. The 660M was slightly weak for 1080p games.

I'd get another MSI but with at least 760M or better.

Also note if you get a 15" model it'll overheat and throttle while gaming if it has only the 1 fan exit. Try to find one with rear exit or dual exit.

I just purchased a gaming laptop from sagar last night. I liked their customization options. I ended up spending 1550 but got a beast. There were good configs at the 1200 level. Ive also done ibuypower before and liked my experience.

There have been some anand reviews of gaming laptops recently so you may want to check the website

Those tend to be CPU heavy so I'd rule out the a10-4600m/a10-5750m.

You should be able to find an i7 + 760m/765m for $1200.
