Hello, I'm new here, hope I'm posting in the right place. 
Here's the form thingy:
1. What is your budget? No more than £700 ($1120), if cheaper suggestions fit what I'm looking for then even better.
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? 15.6/17.3
3. What screen resolution do you want? 1600 x 900 is fine for 15.6, 17.3 would probably need 1920 x 1080, but I could settle for 1600 x 900 here too if pushed.
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? Desktop Replacement.
5. How much battery life do you need? Not a major issue since it will usually be plugged in, but preferably nothing too small.
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low, Medium or High)? Skyrim on High (if not ultra) settings, Total War games (Shogun, Empire etc). I'd like it to be able to play most new games (and upcoming games too) on fairly high settings with stability.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? Listening to music (so decent speakers/subwoofer would be a nice bonus), Work (so Microsoft Office already installed would save hassle) skyping occasionally (so good webcam would again, be a nice bonus) and general media storage.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? At least 500GB, would prefer 750GB though. 7200rpm Is preferred but if 5400 would run smoothly enough then I can settle for that.
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links. Not really, Trustworthy sites of course, UK based sites aren't essential but useful since that is where I am.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? I plan to use it for a long time, say 5 years, so I don't want it to fall behind too quickly.
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ? DVD is adequate. Not a major issue.
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons. No major preference, a reputable company would be more desirable, if it is from an obscure brand, I'd prefer to see some reviews of the product first.
13. What country do you live in? UK (England)
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Just to summarize, As the title suggests I'm looking for a gaming laptop that has impressive performance in all the areas that will matter (graphics card, processor, screen display, memory etc) £700 ($1120) marks the absolute maximum I am able to spend, cheaper suggestions are welcome, but none more expensive than £700 (unless it is literally teetering over the boundary). I'd prefer it if the laptop had good ventilation. It must be able to run at a good speed whilst having several high-spec games installed at once since, whilst £700 isn't a huge budget, it isn't a particularly small one either!
Thanks.
