I'm not looking to build one since my current situation won't really allow for that.
So I just need advice for which gaming laptop I could buy already built and ready to go for my price range.


Budget: $800 or under not including tax and shipping.
More specific use (what games, what programs): League of legends, world of tanks, csgo
Planned time until purchase: August 1st
Do you have any specific preferred components?: 2.9ghz i5 processor or above and 8gb of ram or above.
Do you need a bigger monitor? mouse? No
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): Apo address

I've already done some research but the only places I really know of to buy are amazon and best buy, so I'm just looking for input on something that I could've missed because the selections aren't lookong that great.

Right now I'm leaning towards a MSI 15.6-Inch Laptop GP60 LEOPARD-1053 from amazon.

Bump.

No one knows anything about laptops?

Desktops are far superior to gaming laptops, and are cheaper IMO. Plus, why Best Buy?

are you only interested in performance while gaming or are you interested in performance outside of gaming too? personally, i want my computer to be fast outside of gaming (booting up, opening browser/apps, etc), so i'd go for something with either a hybrid drive or put in your own SSD. that 5400 rpm HDD won't impact game performance, but everything else is noticeably slower.

granted it's not 1080p screen. you can probably find a 950M 1080p with a hybrid drive (or buy separate SSD) if you look around

/edit one of the related items from your link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YR6BMS2
includes SSD, 1080p, 950M

Agreed.

Are you absolutely sure you want a gaming laptop? You can easily build a good ITX for that price if you're going to be moving it a lot.

I'm in the army and with my job I'm moving around alot. For example I'm in the middle East for a few more than right now. So I'm looking for a laptop that will be just as mobile as I am.
