I don't think so... For 1000$, you'll get easily a PC with Core i5-2500k and a decent GPU.
Well the CPU can be found online for a cheaper price, specifically the $240 mentioned earlier. If I were the OP, I'd worry about what kinda temps to expect and how to get the actual installation done. High temps could require a new cooling system, and screwing up during the installation would render the laptop inoperable. As for if it's a good deal or not, dunno. Probably if you can afford it, but you could probably also start saving up for a new Ivy Bridge machine, desktop or laptop.
