Buying new laptop need help picking one.

I am looking to buy a new laptop for mid to high gaming for example starcraft 2 and fallout new vegas. My old laptop was an asus g60jx with the gts 360m card, its dead now. So far my Budget is about 1000. I want a laptop that will atleast run some games on med to high settings. so far this is what i have found narrowed it down to;

ASUS N61JQ-B1 16-Inch @ $1,019.54

This one has the ati graphics card, which i have read is better than the gt 425 "can anyone confirm that?

Currently I am leaning towards getting the first one with the ati card if it will improve the gaming graphics but i am still undecided, some persuasion plz. If anyone has better options please let me know.

Go with the first one.5730M is much more powerful than GT 425 in games.

If your budget allows,go with Sager NP8130
