Buddy of mine got an awesome gaming laptop for around that price. He runs Arma3 and BF4 without any hassles.

Will see if I can find the model number and details for you.
 
What are you looking for? Thinnest, fastest...? I'll check out some laptops but the Lenovo Y500 is always a safe bet :D
 
I have the Lenovo Y510P.

Awesome machine but always be aware that laptops come with a few flaws and design problems. Gaming laptops have a major issue with heat. So If you are aiming to get one, try and get a notebook cooling pad as well.

Nice. The GPU appears to be substantially weaker than the one in the cheaper laptop Uber posted:
