Gaming Laptop ~$1,200

In the market for a gaming laptop. I currently have a desktop with an AMD Phenom II X4 955BE, 4GB DDR3 1333, HD5850. My current beater laptop went out (Hard Drive), and am just wanting to replace it with a gaming laptop for convenience (occasional LAN), flash (show off), and the ability to be where ever I feel I want to be. May fix beater for GF to facebook on. Looking for something in the 1200 range, not much more if it can be helped. Wanting to play COD series (including blackops), SC2, Bioshock, and such on highest settings. I don't like glossy cases, they look cheap to me. I like matte black.

Have a look here: XOTIC PC

I suggest looking at the Asus & MSI models. If you find something you like then price shop, of course, before you pull the trigger. I do hear good things about Xoticpc though.
