mind you, the GT540M is still nowhere in gaming. Less than HD4670 I can say.

Why Y560?
The build aint great, loud, hot, low battery life!!!

Same goes to MSI GX640

Review Dell XPS 15 FHD Notebook - Notebookcheck.net Reviews
Though the heat might reduce for the Y560 and XPS15 with SB as the SB i7 quad is much much better than the older i7 7xx,8xx.

XPS 15 is considered as the best multimedia laptop in the $800-$1000 category.

If the OP wants gaming, he needn't waste time with XPS if the GX640 is available.

Temperaturecomp@ddict said:
Many of MSI's previous gaming notebooks have been notable for their excessive overheating, and readings of over 90°C for the processor and 100ºC for the graphics card were no rarity. The cause quickly becomes apparent when you take a look inside the laptop - a single fan for the entire case and only one heatpipe for the CPU and GPU. MSI must be unconcerned by such issues, or it would long ago have granted this case its long overdue retirement.
The situation with the GX640 is as follows: while the Core i5-430M is still relatively well cooled in idle mode at around 50°C, the temperature under full load rises steeply to 85°C. But it is the Radeon HD 5850 that is truly worrying; after a half hour of all-out usage, Furmark showed an exceptionally high temperature of 107°C. This is not going to be good for the life expectancy of the components. It should also be noted that these temperatures come from our second review machine - in the first one we were given, the temperature of the GPU shot up to 110°C in a very short space of time, at which point the GX640 expired. It was probably that the cooling plate of the graphics card did not fit 100%.
The external temperatures were also cause for complaint. Under a heavy system load, the palm rest area reached an uncomfortable 36.9°C, with the keyboard reaching an even higher 38.2°C. On the underside of the laptop it gets as warm as 51.9°C, so it would not be a good idea to have the GX640 on your lap for any length of time
Conclusion:
The GX640 has been optimised for high performance, with little thought for anything else. The results are obvious: high internal and external temperatures (with the GPU reaching 107°C) and a lot of system noise. Further weak points are the GX640's disappointing sound quality and its not very bright display, with particularly limited viewing angles. And why MSI is still using this keyboard in its models is a mystery; it is insultingly bad, even after a long time spent getting used to it.
But the 15-inch gaming notebook also has some good features. For instance, the compact body with its high-quality brushed aluminium surfaces, the very fast hard drive, good touchpad, and wide range of ports, and the black gaming mouse that comes with it. Its biggest strength, of course, is its breathtaking gaming performance - for a notebook, that is. Thanks to its high clock speed and lightning-fast GDDR5-VRAM, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 even triumphed over Nvidia's top model, the GeForce GTX 285M, in our benchmarks.
When all is said and done, we would not feel comfortable recommending the MSI GX640 because of its many failings. If you are looking for a more balanced gaming package, you might like to consider rival products like the Asus G73J. But it must be said that the GX640 does not fail to deliver first-class gaming performance.
Review MSI GX640-i5447LW7P Notebook - Notebookcheck.net Reviews
Since the GX640 has HD5850 which is not switchable even idle power consumption is high resulting in low battery life and system fan always turned on.
This laptop is for people who are interested in the cheapest and best mobile gaming and nothing else.
Its better to wait for SB proccy with a HD6xxx series since this is switchable graphics and thus might bring down the noise and power consumption down by a bit.

Go for the XPS15. Best Mulmedia laptop in that range. As i said you can easily get a i7 2630QM in your budget!!!
But if you watch 1080p HD movies then get the Full HD RGB LED option (6k extra). Its among the top 3 best laptop screen in the market if not the best!!! Even if you cant extend budget better sacrifice the i7 quad and put the extra moolah on the screen. Worth it IMO.
Dell XPS L501x: An Excellent Mainstream Notebook - AnandTech :: Your Source for Hardware Analysis and News
Anandtech Review:
Dell's XPS L501x provides exactly that, with generally better build quality and features along with the ability to customize your system. True to our word, we're awarding the Dell XPS L501x our Gold Editors' Choice award—but only with the $130 1080p B+GR LCD upgrade.
Honestly, even without the LCD the XPS L501x impresses, as it has bar none the best laptop speakers we've encountered, with a great build quality and aesthetic to match. It's not as thin and light as other notebooks, but it still looks good and there's a wonderful lack of glossy surfaces (other than the LCD). Such extras do matter, and what's more you can get all of this for essentially the same price as the N82Jv. Graphics performance is slightly slower, and the chassis is larger, but this is easily the best 15-16" notebook I've laid hands on during my time with AnandTech (now at six years and counting).

If the i7 is not an absolute necessity, you can have a look at the Sony Vaio C-series, especially the VPCCB15FG. You get an i5-2410M processor, a 7200 rpm HDD, and a radeon HD6630M which is somewhere between the GT540M and the GT525M, but since you won't be into hardcore gaming, it should suffice. Also another key feature is its Full HD 1080p screen...and it also has a backlit keyboard. Battery life is much improved compared to the E-series, thanks to the switchable graphics. And the VAIO experience in general is great - awesome keyboard, one-touch web access, a cool pre-installed gesture-based music player et al. Yours for 54,990. Check it out...
