best gaming pc under 800 image
Patrick is
I'm no tech-wizard, so I don't know much about this stuff. But onto my point..
I'm looking for a good gaming PC that is under $2,000. I'm looking for something reliable, fast, has a large screen if it's a laptop, and can run, let's say the original Crysis game at near top-quality graphics.

Well you'll be generally happier (and save money) with a desktop.
Laptop components are less powerful than their desktop counterparts, aren't upgradeable and cost 60-70 percent more for the same performance. So a $1300 laptop performs about like an $800 desktop.
If you go with a desktop, you can get something that meets your requirements for about $1000 (without a monitor). Anyway, well under budget. If you spend about $1300-$1400 you can have a system capable of playing all current games on ultra settings.
While the best value comes from building a custom computer yourself (or having a shop do it), there are compnaies which will build a custom rig, most notably Cyberpower PC. You pick the parts, they assemble the system. That's the 2nd-best choice after building from scratch.
Here's a build I just configured for $1355 with a Core i5 2500K (best bang/buck gaming processor) and a GeForce GTX 570, which is enough to run Battlefield 3, Crysis, Crysis 2 and Skyrim on max settings.

If you need a monitor, a nice 23-24" one costs about $225 at Best Buy or Amazon.
You could go to even higher-end graphics cards if you wanted- a GTX 580 costs $106 more and the brand-new GTX 680 costs $191 more. You'd still be under your $2000 budget with either of those cards, and get even higher fps.
Performance:

What kind of laptop should I get for college?
Jake
So I will be attending college this fall and need to get a laptop that is under $800. I want to get a PC preferably running on Windows 7 home premium. I am going to school for graphic design and computer animation so a dedicated graphic card is a must in order to run the programs ill be working in. I would also like to be able to play games on my laptop with ease.
Any help is appreciated!
Answer
Only laptop available with a dedicated graphic card is Alienware.
