     ...Why would you build a laptop?  

    Just buy one already made, get a warranty and be happy.. if you want to build a desktop, thats a different story, maybe then I'd be better help.

     

    P.S.

    heres a recommendation

    The most important part to playing games is the graphics card.  Both the 9800M GTX265M, and HD4670M/4800M would be the choices you should look for.  After that is battery life.  Something like a 12~15 cell lithium battery because either of those GFX cards will significantly drop the power life of your laptop.  After that is memory.  Somewhere around 4 gigs.

    Here are laptops that I am talking about.

    Personally, I would aim at an MSI laptop with an HD4850/70 onboard.  They come powered down, so when you are using it mobily you have descent powerlife.  Then when you plug into an AC adapter, you can click on the Turbo Mode button and it powers up.

    Where were you looking at to buy laptop components anyway?  Or does someone know a good place to buy laptop components?
