Gaming laptops suggestions!

Solution
Uhmmm not happening. Any 'decent' gaming laptop is over $1200 to normally $2000, because a GAMING VIDEO CARD alone for a desktop is between $250-$1000, and is 2X more expensive to 'fit' and not 'overheat' a laptop when they make them.

If you want to spend so little, either go desktop (barely) or switch to a PS4, because the COST your investing won't give the PERFORMANCE level that a console would for the same COST range.
