sounds like the y510p really. 755M SLI I7 1080p - normally around $1000.

With your budget I'd get the Lenovo Y510p w/ i5.

It's the most powerful $900 machine on the market for gaming and it's tried and true. It'll play your games with ease, as it has dual GT 755M's on SLI. The i7 version is an unnecessary expense, as gaming isn't very CPU intensive, and the i5-4200M is a strong enough processor to not be maxed out during game play.

I just noticed newegg has a deal for msi g60 for 999$; thanks for the answer bit more detailed
