HELP! So I am getting a laptop for Christmas. There are main computers on my mind right now and i need to make my decision as soon as possible. I am a student that will be browsing the web, using microsoft word, excel, etc. AND i want to be able to play mainstream games like battlefield and especially FAR CRY 3 with ease and little problems.

If you insist on having a full HD display on the laptop go with the dv6z-7200 as it will perform better with the asymetric crossfire when the games support it. If you can deal with a 768p display I would highly suggest the lenovo y580 as it will far out perform either of your choices with it's i7 3630 and GTX 660m for $849 right now. The full HD model of the y580 is $999 which is just out of your budget but I am a firm believer that it is still a great laptop with the 1366x768 screen.
