Need a gaming laptop for $1000

[cw34]

I'm looking for a gaming laptop with 6 gigs of ddr3 RAM, any i7 cpu (kinda to future proof) or high end i5, with at least a gt 650m ddr5 card, any size ( i just want to have an effective upgrade from my desktop 9800 gt oc'd) , with a 15 inch monitor (17 wont be a deal breaker) im looking to be able to play almost any game on high/ultra as my desktop card is able to, im going to be using this during college and i want it to last throughout college, any suggestions would be good,ive tried searching but i can never find just what i need, and if i find a "builder computer online" its just as expensive as an upgraded version of what im looking for,thanks!

It would be an easy upgrade for you to add a mSATA SSD yourself.
