I will be receiving $1200-$1300 USD for a gaming laptop. Does anyone have suggestions for the best bang for the buck laptop at this price? Thanks.

Does it have to be a laptop?

This satisfies almost everything, I'm really wanting a 120-128GB SSD for boot along with the mass storage drive..

 

Not necessarily that price, but a good bang for the buck gaming laptop it is:

 

While the Inspiron 7559 is a GREAT BUDGET one, with 1300$ I'd highly advise looking at the Lenovo Y700. For that price you can get the one with a 256GB M.2 SSD, better cooling, better build (less flex) and VASTLY superior audio

I predicted that they would recommend a Lenovo.
