Processor: 3rd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820QM Processor (2.7 GHz, 8MB L3 Cache)

Hard drive: 750GB 7200 rpm Hybrid Hard Drive

Or should i get an alienware? my budget is $2500 suggestions will help as well

If your budget is around 2500, you could probably get a sager. The HP will probably run on medium/ high at around 45 fps according to this:
Computer Games on Laptop Graphic Cards - Notebookcheck.net Tech

but it probably won't run on ultra well.

The 3610 is good enough. You really do not need to get a better one unless you are doing some very CPU intensive tasks (like running scripts) and gaming is not as much as a CPU intensive task as a GPU intensive task. I would suggest you get the 3610 and save some cash.

The money you save on the CPU, you can use to get a better GPU. I would suggest the Alienware M18 and get the dual 7970ms in XFire. Then haggle with DELL and get it down to 2500.

Hard drive: 750GB 7200 rpm Hybrid Hard Drive

I would strongly suggest against a hybrid drive. A full SSD would do you much good.

+1 on the Sager suggestion! At that price point, DEFINITELY go for one. You won't find a laptop with simultaneously comparable performance, heat management and price.
