Specs for a gaming/low end editing laptop?

[Arct1c]

Hey, so recently my old MSI broke, and i've decided that its probably not worth the money to try to fix it, considering its probably the videocard thats broken. Anyway,
what would i look into getting for a mid-high end gaming PC, and a mid end video editing PC? I'm quite a gamer, and i've thought about putting some time into doing some videos, so i was just wondering what you guys would recommend for that

Also what brands can you recommend? Thinking about an Asus, not sure though.

Thanks in advance,

EDIT: just noticed i wrote wrong in the title, sorry!

i found this awesome deal on newegg.com for this laptop it great except for the fact that it is window 8 not 7 but that just personal preference

I take it with this that range for what you would want is 1200-1500? The problem is that you would likely want to buy from a custom shop so you can get a whitebook fitted with a better screen for accurate color

15.6" or 17"???
