This one is about the best you can get for the money. It's last years model that's why it's on sale for $1,264 from it's original price of $1,799. There are only 2 in stock so if you want it you better hurry.

That thing would kick my desktop PCs ass. And it has a SWEET 17.3" Full HD 144Hz G-Sync ISP display panel. Asus has a few decent looking gaming laptops around that price point but the reviews are not the best. Lots of dead power brick problems and overheating issues.
This fella did a bunch of real gaming benchmarks on 1. Very impressive for a laptop.
