Screen size? What games? Have a model preference?

Im not very loyal to any brand. My last laptop was an msi gt627 and i liked it. My wife dropped it and its broken which is why im in the market for a new one. I play a lot of mmos and also a few other games that are graphics heavy. Im pretty much just looking for the best laptop i can get in that price range.

This has been recommended before, and is a beast. Newegg.com - ASUS A53SV-NH51 Notebook Intel Core i5 2430M(2.40GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory DDR3 640GB HDD 5400rpm DL DVD±RW/CD-RW NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M

That could work to. The QM CPU is based on Sandy Bridge.
