$2000- MSI GT70 2OD-064US with Intel Haswell Core i7-4700MQ (2.4~3.4GHz), GTX780M, 12GB DDR3 1600mhz RAM, and 1TB HDD. Great laptop, but you can get even more out of it with its 15.6inch counterpart below. MSI GT60 2OD-026US (15.6inch, but with more goodies. I don't mind the 15.6in screen for gaming, its perfect) with Intel Haswell Core i7-4700MQ (2.4~3.4GHz), GTX780M, 16GB DDR3 1600mhz RAM, and 128GB mSATA SSD + 1TB HDD. It can run anything you throw at it with max settings and still have good fps (at least 45+ in any game, i get around 70fps ultra settings in BF3). The only problem with MSI is that they do a bad thermal paste job, so if you order online, get the IC Diamond compound for thermal paste. On GenTechPC, its free. Clevo is another great option. I don't have much personal experience with Sager/Clevo, but I've heard nothing but greatness about them. You can get the Clevo P177SM (17.3inch) with the same specs as above for $2000 as well, but you won't get some of the other goodies MSI offers. MSI has a better keyboard, better sound quality, a better ethernet controller, and better wifi card. I think it also has a better screen- not 100% sure on that one. You can't go wrong with either choice! Hope this helps, good luck choosing!
I was for Alienware when it was Alienware based out of Miami, This was back in the mid to late 90's... Now that it is Dell forget it.. If you want a Boutique then Origin PC (original founders of Alienware) or the like.
