...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.
dude just buy a netbook and spend the money building a desktop for gaming.
Where were you looking at to buy laptop components anyway? Or does someone know a good place to buy laptop components?
I suggest to buy this parts:
CPU: Intel Core 2 duo P8400 or better
T7800 or better
GPU: Nvidia: 8800 GTXGTS or better
9600 GT or better
130M or better
Ati : HD 3800 or better
HD 4600 or better
HD 4800 or better
RAM: DDR2 2GB or better
(dual channel is good)
HDD: this is up to you
advice to you - choose the display carefully and check dpi(dots per inch(resolution)) before u buy it.
GL!
