Games I play are smg2 and smg1, twilight princess, skyward sword, super paper Mario, all metroid games
Super Smash bros brawl.

And from all ik the Zelda games only do 30FPS so I don't think that will matter.

Zelda games do 30 FPS because each frame needs about twice as much power to render. It doesn't make them less demanding.

Get the i7 3720QM . Most games will run full speed on it
I recommend this laptop :
http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G55VW/#specifications
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWTqzlUFOh8 (G75VW : 17 inch screen ,G55VM : 15 inch screen)
It's very simple to replace the thermal paste , not heavy (3.8Kg) , extremely good cooling design (for overclocking ofc)

Or you can build the Clevo

i7 3930K is very good for overclocking . Aftermarket Arctic MX-4 is a must . 1 HDD for storage drive and 1 SSD (optional) for boot drive

Wow those are some epic laptops I will think about it thanks for helping me

About the Asus :
_15.6" - 1080p : 3.8Kg
_17.3" - 1080p : 4.5Kg
IMO , I would take the 15.6" model + i7 3720QM

Fluiditic pastes dry out over time and become less useful.

a good solid paste like Noctua's doesn't dry out.

Or you can just solder it to your CPU...it's super effective! :3

Won't it cook the CPU, though?
