Hello, I have been looking for a good 2 weeks now and just can't find myself a ultra book with the specs I want. The things i would like to do on it is school work, game( has to be able to run lol, bf3 good). If possible i would also like it to be 13 inch touchscreen. Do not want a thick 3 hour life gaming machine. Need it to be portable, and thin, and a "sleek" design. Hopefully someone can find me something "like" this.

Have you looked at the Lenovo Y510p? Its not 'Ultrabook' thin but its about as close as you can get in a gaming laptop.

Its a powerhouse and even on sale for 899 right now for the highest end model! Here are some benchmarks for its GPU gaming.

Best part is you can actually SLI its GT 755m with a second via their ultrabay expansion.

My old gaming laptop was a Lenovo Y560p and it was a beast. That laptop made me a loyal lenovo customer (though my current laptop is an Asus G55 because I got it for a good deal) but had this been out at the time I would have gotten this instead!

Hope this helps!

Edit: Also you...

Edit: Also you can look at the older Y510 which is still a beast and you can SLI its GT 750m as well. Or for a smaller form factor look at the Y410p which has the same specs as the Y510p but can not expand to SLI. You can check those out here.

Double Edit: I just realized you were looking for 13 inch screen. The Y410p is a 14 inch screen so it would be closer to what you are looking for. Unfortunately no one really makes anything as small as you are wanting that is gaming capable (for obvious heat reasons) but the Y410p would be a great contender if your willing to compromise on size just a tad bit.
