I am trying to buy a laptop that is great for gaming and video/picture editing too (like making anime music videos). My budget is about a $1000 (+ or - 200 depending on the deals).

So far I think these are the specs I am looking for:
Processor:
Looking for a good processor for better video editing. Is upgrading cache from 2mb to 3mb a significant difference? I want to be able to run editing programs smoothly such as premeire pro, photoshop, after effects (simualtaneously). Is the p8400 core 2 duo good? or is it too much or too little for what Im trying to do on a laptop. (I wont be doing 3D stuff, but I will be doing alot of video rendering)

Video Card:
decent video card (all my desktops have nvidia, so im sticking with nvidia). Probably the only games I will be looking foward into playing later is diablo 3 or starcraft 2. As of now, I dont play too many intensive graphics games, but if I do, I should at least be able to play on normal/decent settings. I dont know if I should go for gforce 8 or 9 series and which model. How about NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT? compare it to the graphics cards I have written in my signature.

Hard Drive:
a 7200 rpm hard drive no less. space does not matter, I have external HDs.

RAM:
At least 3gb of ram.

Screen size:
no less than 15.4 inch (preferred 17 inch)


I know that my budget is very low, but if anyone can help me find something like or close to what I need, it would be appreciative. Thank you.

edit* I have searched some laptops online, and I can find some laptops that come close, but always lacks something. Like everything was good, but then the Hard drive was only 5400. Or if the HD was 7200, some other part was lacking, like the video card (being intergrated or something). Which is the most important aspect for a laptop?...
