I currently Spend most of my time playing Diablo 3 and Path of Exile.. Been on and off Elder scrolls online. I am looking for some advice on laptops that can run these games well and are not super expensive. I have looked into a few Sagers and Alienwares but Since I do not know laptop performance I tend to make monster machines that cost $4000-5000
 
Your budget for a laptop is 4-5k? Not sure what the last part is in reference to.
 
I mean when I look at buying them I go all out and make them to expensive. Im looking to spend around $1500-2000 if possible
 
You do not need to spend $2000 on a laptop to play Diablo 3, ESO and PoE at highest settings.

To be economical, get something with an GTX 860m which should only run you $1000-1400 depending on the model and spec.
 
Msi barebones or sager with a single 870m will power through those. The sager have a 35 dollar upgrade to the 4810qm which is good value otherwise stick with the lowest quad, 8gb of ram, a 128gb ssd for the os and 750 - 1000gb hdd and you will be all set for a really nice experience.

What he said. Can't go wrong with an msi or sager running an 870m (a nice ~30% improvement over an 860m, but depending on your needs, might not be necessary).
 
That or the MSI retail model for $1400 comes with an IPS display if you want to spend a little more and get more bang for your buck.
 
Try this place, also look at the Asus models, they are solid. I personally own the MSI gt780dx with 570m and have had good experiences with it. I hear the Asus models runs cooler since they have 2 fans.

There are quite a few resellers about, I suggest you want to research a few before deciding on the one best for you.
 
My lenovo y410p plays all those games maxed and I only payed $800. 750m is more than enough for them. Try to find something with an 850 or 860m if possible for future proofing.
 
Elder scrolls will not run at 60FPS on a 750M at 1080p at decent detail settings.
