I would like a decent graphics card. A lot of Laptops around this price range are going to the GTX660, and why it is indeed a Kepler, I'm not sold on this card. Would like GTX570 or GTX670.

Any insight, direction, criticism, or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Well it's a Kepler, which I'm really excited for that new architecture. But as far as performance the GTX570M still beats it.

I heard rumors that nvidia was releasing there Kepler cards for laptops in mid august tho.

Well I have a config going on a Sager NP9130 / Clevo P151EM1 for $1322.11 that seems promising. GTX670, I7-3610Qm etc. Also that ASUS G75VW-TS2 looks very nice. out of the two, which would you suggest?

well the ASUS G75VW-TS2 looks awesome. and TigerDirect has it for $1399.99 atm.

I would like a warranty on it, and TDs is kinda expensive warranty wise. You know of any other site that sells it? (Newegg doesn't)
