Can I do any better for a gaming laptop at 750?

I got the dv6z-7000 series.

HP Pavilion dv6z-7000 Entertainment Notebook PC This item ships free

• Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• AMD Quad-Core A10-4600M Accelerated Processor (3.2GHz/2.3GHz, 4MB L2 Cache)
• 1GB AMD Radeon(TM) HD 7670M Graphics
• FREE Upgrade to 6GB 1600MHz DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• Microsoft(R) Office Starter: reduced-functionality Word/Excel(R) only, No PowerPoint(R)/Outlook(R)
• FREE Upgrade to 640GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
• No additional security software
• 9 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
• 15.6-inch diagonal Full HD Anti-glare LED-backlit Display (1920 x 1080)
• SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support
• HP TrueVision Webcam with Integrated Digital Microphone + HP SimplePass Fingerprint Reader
• 802.11b/g/n WLAN
• Backlit Keyboard
• HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope

It came out to 750. -25 - 30 = 695 vs other laptops same range?

Also do you think its a good idea for me to get this for 7760g + 7670m crossfire?

or do you think crossfire would be a bit shoddy? and stick with the 7730m?

would be great if i can get some input so i can modify my order if need be thanks.

You lose the 1080P screen and backlit keyboard, but you get a superior processor.

Something to think about.

Thanks for the input guys, I decided to just bite the bullet and spend the extra 400 to get a laptop I wont have a problem whatsoever with.

BY ALL MEANS PLEASE let me know if there is a better laptop then the one I purchased please please.

Thanks.

I'm not sure we are talking about the same model.
I was talking about the dv6t-7000 SELECT EDITION. HERE:
http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-Pavilion/C0L24AV?HP-Pavilion-dv6t-7000-Entertainment-Notebook-PC

Choose:
1. I5-3210M CPU
2. GT 650M
3. FullHD display

won't get to 900$ even with backlit keyboard and 9 cell battery.

Not 100% sure about the GPU as it is a neutered 128-Bit

I just got this for $740 plus tax. I really wanted a 14", I could care less for Alienware, but this seems like a good deal. Only regretting not having the i7 and the 900p. I have a desktop I mainly game on and this will be me portable gamer for going to work and the gf's house. What do you think? Should I cancel and look elsewhere?

Oh btw it was from the Dell Outlet with one of their 20% off coupons.

Intel Core 3rd Generation i5-3210M Processor (2.5GHz, 3M cache)
6GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 Memory
500 GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
8X DVD +/- RW Drive
1 GB DDR5 NVIDIA GeForceGT 650M using NVIDIA Optimus technology
Intel Centrino Wireless 2230, 2x2 bgn + Bluetooth
