Cheap is a relative term - many may not find these prices cheap but when you consider a high-end, high performance laptop can cost 3 or 4 grand... going with some of these gaming rigs is much more affordable.

Once upon a time, buying a superior gaming laptop with all the bells and whistles, meant you had just won the lotto jackpot or had found a way to break into Fort Knox. Not anymore, gaming laptop prices have steadily fallen so much in recent years, that many good quality gaming rigs are just down-right affordable.

Perhaps, the biggest factor for these falling prices has been the debut of newer faster processors such as the Intel i7 Quad- processor. And the introduction of cheaper Graphics Cards from top GPU makers such as Nvidia and ATI. Plus, you now have fierce competition in this niche market from many major traditional laptop makers such as Dell, HP, Toshiba, Asus, Sony... which has caused prices to drop. Alienware is no longer the only kid on the block.

However, don't get the wrong impression, you still can get a fully custom gaming laptop that will set you back 4 or 5 grand. But you now have some cheaper options that are worth considering, especially if you still haven't won that lottery.

Here is a quick list of some recent gaming systems which are relatively cheap and won't break your bank account. First, most experienced gamers know that a good gaming machine will possess or have the following features:

• superior graphics card or GPU

Now, many of those features don't come cheap but here are a few machines and laptop makers you should check out. Prices are listed at the time of writing, shop around and you will probably find better bargains.
