*I've been looking at the Sony FW400 Series, and they seem to fit the bill, but a friend of mine has it, and Sony locks their display driver to three resolutions (800x600, 1024x768, 1920x1080), I know I could use the mobility driver hack but thats kinda annoying to have to do every driver update.
I've also been looking at a MSI GT725-212US however I've been hearing the display bleeds near the bottom, and I really don't think laptops need a Numpad, it also has a quadcore which is useless for gaming at the moment.

I've been looking at dell's website but they haven't upgraded their graphic card offerings.

Your budget is very close to Dell Alienware M17X which is the best gaming laptop.

Besides that, you can also also take a look at

ASUS G50Vt-B1

Qosmio X305-Q715

I agree with Maziar..i have the Saper NP 5797..i got it stock with a few upgrades like the blu-ray and the hard drive, and the RAM...its a very good laptop..but for a 15 inch..i recommend the Sager NP 8662..good features....
