Need a new laptop (Self-Build or ready-made?)

    Hey,

    So my current laptop is a bit of a jock and I need a new one tbh. My max budget is probably 1,000-1,500 (Thanks to a fine season from Leicester City :p). I was just wondering what some of the best bang for my buck is out there in terms of store bought or self-build as this will be just about the most money I've ever spent on anything and I've had a good look around but it's a little mind boggling tbh.

    I asked a mate and he said self-building a desktop (he has a self-build) would be a better plan but that's not an option for me because I need it for college and I'm always moving so it needs to be portable! Any opinions/knowledge is appreciated. Especially on exactly what parts would be best for the self-build.

    Thanks
    :)

    Gaming mostly and College work. Currently only playing football manager but would definitely expand my gaming range if my laptop wasn't so poor :P
