ASUS G73 is currently king of bang-for-buck gaming notebooks, followed by the ASUS G51. Absolute power goes to the Alienware M17x though; dual GTX285s or HD4870s (with GDDR5 this time, not not GDDR3 like the ASUS WP90 had). The Clevo M980 comes close, but the motherboard chipset introduces some performance loss.

Also, don't get Toshiba. They suck.

G73 and the M17x are past the budget :<
i guess i'll be going with the G51
it's a little smaller than the G73 which i'm guessing is a little plus because i'll be hauling it around in my backpack
also no dx11 support on the G51 but i can live with that probably

There are also the MSI offerings to consider which are lower in price than the ASUS for comparable performance if you must have DX11. I think the ASUS notebooks are higher quality, though, and offer more features for the dollar.

also, what would be the best way to avoid bloatware? if it were xp i'd just do a fresh install but it isn't and i don't have windows 7 on me
or does asus even come with bloatware

Uninstall any trial software and bloatware It's at most 15 minutes to remove that crap when you first turn it on.

If you have your Win7 key, you may as well download it from somewhere (check the md5 first, lolbotnets) and just use your key.

Either way, Kyon is correct.
