Unfortunately gaming laptops do not get 5+ hours of battery life. The good news is that your budget does allow for a really good option. With that said, I suggest to you the MSI GT60 Dominator-424 with:

i7-4800MQ
8GB RAM
1TB 7200RPM HDD
Nvidia GTX 870M Graphics
15.6" 1920x1080 Display
Custom Backlit Keyboard by Steelseries
Dynaudio Premium Sound w/ Subwoofer
Killer Doubleshot Networking

It's the most powerful gaming option given the budget, however it isn't really thin. A much thinner option (1.1in), although not nearly as powerful (but still well capable) is the ASUS N550JK with:

i7-4700MQ
8GB RAM
1TB 5400RPM HDD
Nvidia GTX 850M Graphics
Beautiful 15.6" 1920x1080 IPS Touch Display

You may actually be able to squeeze 5 hours of battery life out of this one.

What about the y50 from lenovo?

850M = base
860M = +17%
870M = ~35-40%

otherwise the y50 is a solid laptop.

I would look online to buy after checking out some at best buy, amazon has good deals occasionally.

Try an Asus or MSI gaming laptop. Not thin, but robust. Try newegg eg http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231320
