What is needed for a gaming laptop?

[DougleBi]

Hi, I was looking at buying a laptop specifically for gaming. I was thinking of getting a Sager as the customizability and cheap price "attraced" me. But what I really want to know was what specs are needed to run modern games on high settings with high fps whilst recording.
Thanks

Can't help you with the recording part (I'd imagine a quad core i7 + SSD would be the biggest help there). But notebookcheck.net is the best resource I've found for gaming benchmarks with the different laptop GPUs.

You need at least an i5 with a GTX 860m or above basically. Starts around $1000
