What is a good gaming laptop that is about or below $800?

I cannot, to save my life, find a gaming laptop to my specs that is about $800. Here is what I am looking for:

1) Up to or under $800 (obviously)

2) (Preferably) Comes with 8 GB of ram, possibly up-gradable to 16 or so (maybe even 32 or so, but that is not necessary.)

3) A really nice Graphics card, like a GeForce GT 660-670... (Maybe not necessarily that much OR that little, but it needs to run lots of things and games, not just simple stuff like minecraft P.S. I am pretty sure those are really good, hopefully I am not writing the wrong GeForce cards... )

4) possibly about 2-4 GB of video memory for the video card

5) preferably 750 GB of storage memory, 1TB would be REALLY AWESOME, 500 GB would still be acceptable, but nothing under that, please...

6) Try to get as close to 3.0 GHz as possible, or more, this IS supposed to do high performance stuff.

7) Is capable of doing things like game creation, video-photo editing, modeling, stuff like that (along with Gaming, of course)

8) Runs games likes Skyrim, Fallout, GMOD, TF2, Call of Duty, GTA, stuff like that

9) 64-Bit

Hopefully I'm not asking for too much (everyone knows I am, of course), and hopefully I have provided enough information to give you some ideas. Now, if it's over $800 that's still fine; just, because I am not made of money, try to not let it get into $900 or so bucks. I do realize what I am asking for is quite implausible, and I have turned to Yahoo Answers because of that; I cannot, for the life of me, find a laptop that can video-photo edit, game, create games, render video, model, etc. for the life of me that has specs capable of that, and actually the 6 year old laptop I am using now can do better than a lot of new laptops I've seen, I'm afraid. This doesn't necessarily have to be a GAMING laptop, just has to perform what I want (Photo-video, gaming, I have already said these a billion times). Thanks in advance!

    For standards that high, you need to go above $800, those laptop specs you listed are in the $1300 club. For your budget you'll find like ~2.4GHz i5, GT640M roughly at the best. Laptops are expensive if you want them to perform as well as desktop computers... because they're 15% the size.

    HP ENVY DV7. All your requirements including the great i7. It is not a gaming laptop, but it sure can game.
