HP dv6 6165tx fits your requirements, but you will have to increase your budget by around 3k. The asus aroraanant mentioned is cheap, but does not come with preinstalled OS. XPS 15 at 55900+5% vat is also a good option, but the hp is much more powerful, slim and light. So I'd suggest you go for dv6 6165tx.

Nope.........normal cpu temps between 30-50, while gaming it goes above 70, and above 80 if gaming for >4 hours. Max GPU temp 85 when gaming on highest possible settings with decent frame rate. If you use coolsense the temps are lower.

Asus K Series K53SV SX-521V comes with preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium and is within your budget.

Both are good but I think "Asus K Series K53SV-SX521D" is better one in terms of features.

OP's primary requirement is movies and gaming. SX-521V comes with GT520M 1 GB which cannot handle the games he wants to play.
