Looking for great gaming laptop

Hello, I'm looking for a great gaming laptop. I have a few ideas, but I would like some recommendations.

1. What is your budget?

$1,900 (including 3-year warranty)

2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?

~15"

3. What screen resolution do you want?

At least 1080p.

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?

Desktop replacement. I would like to focus on power, but (some) portability is also important.

5. How much battery life do you need?

~3 hours (the more, the better)
This time is based on when under light use for word processing.

6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?

I would like to play a variety of games on their high-ish settings. Some ultra-intensive games are not included in that group. I will be playing mostly new releases and that sort.

7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)

Word processing.

8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?

Min. 250GB. 750GB+ would be nice.

9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.

Digital Storm. Particularly this laptop. (that's all I have so far, feel free to change the configuration as necessary)

10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?

3-5 years.

11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?

Nothing fancy. Any 8x multi-function DVD/CD drive will do.

12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.

Prefer:
Digital Storm (price, power, customer service)

Do not prefer:
Alienware (extremely pricey, I've heard tons of bad things)

- If there's any other brand that you would recommend that suits my situation, feel free to include it. -

13. What country do you live in?

USA.

14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.

I am going to use this laptop primarily for gaming, but I would also like to use it for taking notes with word processing. I know this could be an issue with power vs portability, but I would like something that would work well for my needs.

This is just from looking around online. Please, give me your recommendation given these parameters. Need to go a bit outside of them? Go ahead.
