For Gaming DV6 6165tx with HD6770 card
But If you need like FullHD,Bluray,Backlit keys,7200rpm HDD you can consider XPS15 but will set you back by 65k

so what should be sacrificed? ,,
new tech features lyk hi speed hdd , baklit kb , bluray? Even at high cost dell grafik card is far inferior than that of hps 6770m . .

Is there any other brand that can satisify me? :?:

^ Doesn't the asus n55sf overshoot OP's budget?
I thought it was priced at something like 72-75k(not sure). Op's budget is 50-55k.

@vamsiguduru

Check out the Asus K53SV SX521V.
there is a review of it in this forum.

64k too is more than his budget. But @vamsiguduru you can try looking for it at some local shops and if you get a good bargain you can consider it. You will have to extend your budget, though. But it doesn't have bluray reader.

for running the modern games op needs at least a 6770M or Gt555 as of the processor i5 will do the job
also there r two versions of 555M one with ddr3/144cuda cores & the other with ddr5/96 cuda cores verify it berore taking take the one with ddr5 vram

i recommend this for the budget
MSI GE620DX Gaming Series GE620DX / Core i5 / 4 GB / 640 GB / Windows 7 Home Premium Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review MSI Notebook

please keep in mind that we r here to help people not providing customer support:-x

& the site clearly mentions the fact Super Multi Drive which means dvd drive but msi site mentions "Blu-ray / DVD Super Multi" OP can always find it out from the cc as i have already mentioned in earlier post not to go blindly by our suggestions
here is the quote from wikipedia for ur kind information
Super Multi is a term used to label DVD recorders that support both "minus" (DVD-R/DVD-RW) and "plus" (DVD+R/DVD+RW) DVD formats, as well as DVD-RAM.
This term —suggesting somehow an improvement over DVD Multi— was coined by LG and is now officially protected by LG. It is also used by NEC for some of their products. LiteOn uses the term Super AllWrite instead, which essentially has the same meaning.
Some Super Multi drives can also write one or more dual-layer formats (typically DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL), but this is not implied by the Super Multi qualification in itself. In general, Super Multi drives

No there is only a single model launched in India. The information about n55sf given in flipkart is totally wrong.

@OP- If you want just just gaming performance, you'll have to compromise on backlit keyboard and 7200rpm HDD. Backlit is too rare, and 7200HDD is also not often seen. Anyways considering HP, AFAIK no company provides better GPU than it in the same or even a bit high range, competitors being GT555M ; plus don't forget heating problems with HP and its short-lasting (have seen so many HPs frying up after 2 yr or so. The Asus N55sf looks real good on papers and worthy too (considering 65k). Also there's a lenovo lappi with i7 + GT555M @ 56, but again no backlit and 7200HDD. Final call is yours.

i guess that HP Pavilion DV6 Series DV6-6121TX Laptop
would suit your purpose but in about 55k you would hav to compromise with something or the other like this laptop is perfect but i don't hav the blue-ray drive in it.. yaa of couse u would be able to play all the games u want at full settings still getting about 30fps ..it is about 55k

The lenovo one sujay was talking about is the lenovo Y570.
Check out the specs of the different models here.
Lenovo Y570

But you will have to compromise on the screen and the backlit keyboard mate. Other than that,the specs look pretty solid and it doesn't burn your pockets either.

Well it would be around 52-53 k if u convert directly,but since the dollar to rupees conversion doesn't work that simply here with all the import taxes and other stuff expect to pay around 55k(I think) for it.

I had seen that lappi in a shop when I had to buy mine. The config isn't same at that of US site. Its available in two flavours-

1) i7 + GT555/750 = 56K (after a bit bargaining)

2) i5 + GT555/750 = 52/53K ( " " )

I haven't experienced any heating problem till now (max temperature 74, same as my room-mate's XPS). Heating problems were there with older generation processors. Sandy-bridge cpus are very cool in comparison. The older generation XPS also got very hot ( most of the people in my cousin's hostel block have XPS, and they all get VERY hot). If you get your lap serviced every few months you will never fry it up. @vamsiguduru if you are getting your laptop in India consider HP 6165tx and lenovo y570. If buying from abroad, consider only those brands giving international warranty.

i think that the XPS is all right and works perfectly fine no heat problem is there there must be some fault in the piece of ur friend and if u can extend ur budget to 65k the this is a very nice choice...
