Gaming Laptop Advice

[Slaet Gustave]

Right now I have a 3 year old desktop and looking to get a laptop.
Current build:
Q7700
8800GT
8gb DDR3
500gb HD (10,000RPM)

The laptop I am looking for is for work / gaming. I have read a lot about "are you sure you want a gamin laptop" and I think I am going to just jump and try it out. I have always gamed on a desktop, but I always envy the portability of the laptop.

The games I play are CS:GO / Chivalry Medieval Warfare / MineCraft / Skyrim
Future games interested in:
Skyrim Online / New FPS / More games like chivalry (that game is so awesome!)

So are there any laptops that would support that at around 1500$?

Would there be a laptop that might support chivalry/CS:GO on low settings for less, and then just upgrade my desktop?

And one last thing... what do you think of Craigslist laptops?

Sure there is..... best bet is to have one custom built to your specs as the "store brands" are all rebranded products from someone else and 2) always include at least 1 bum component to try and keep the price a few cents below the next guy

$1500 is way too much
are we talking USA?

Yes USA, should I be looking at something less aggressive?
