Hi there,

You should also look into the Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q880. It has 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7-740QM and NVIDIA GeForce GTS 460M. It is a slightly bigger than the size you mentioned (18.4") but it is an excellent gaming laptop! It even has Blu-ray. It is slightly over your budget at $1599 but the specs are great!

Cheers,
