Laptop - $2000 budget - need help!

[The Pro]

Hello!

I'm buying my first ever laptop for college/gaming. I made a thread about this before, and some people advised me to get a sager. Sounds like a pretty good idea. I'm looking for essentially a "desktop replacement", to play the new MMO's (TESO, wildstar) on ultra, preferrably, MOBAs, some SC2, single player RPGs, etc.

My question is this: I really don't know much about computer specs. But I noticed that some sager laptops start at $2000, which is my budget, and others are below this amount, with additions that can be added on for more money. I'm not really sure what I should do to buy the best possible machine for $2000. Any help would be great!
For reference, here is a list of sager laptops from their site: http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.p...elected_cat=11

Thanks a bunch!
P.S. My college says I can use either Windows 7 or 8. Which is generally preferred among gamers?

EDIT: that's $2000 USD, I live in the Midwestern United States.

Why? It's faster than 7 and doesn't take much getting used to.

Here's the Sager Sager NP8250-S (Clevo P157SM) I put together on http://XoticPC.com. This minus the OS, but that can be added
