Sounds good, I think I am really liking the MSI's. I guess I can budget a few more if need be. Here are a few more comparable ones to the first MSI that Maxwell posted:

Maxwell's suggestion:
MSI GX640-260US: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834152207

Very similar MSI ~ larger screen, 5870 GPU, smaller HD:
MSI GX740-235US: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834152206

Different MSI ~ slightly faster CPU, 5870GPU, 2x USB 3.0, best speakers, lower res, more $$:
MSI GX660-260US: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834152231

Very similar to first MSI ~ better GPU, lower res, more $$$:
MSI GX660-053US: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834152205

Similar to 2nd listed MSI ~ i7 CPU, better GPU, more $$$, but rebate:
MSI GX740-079US: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834152192

Thanks guys, I have just hit my limit and I need to get a trusty laptop soon. I am curious about MSI's, but I have yet to read much of anything negative about them, well yet to read much about them at all outside of Newegg reviews.
