There are Alienware that are near the 1K mark which are fine. There's also the Lenovo y50 at 900ish to 1K marks that are great. My son is fine with an older Asus AMD A8 machine but that has some after market modifications to it such as 16GB RAM and a faster HDD so it would have cost the same as the y50.

Hi, my son has taken an interest in space engineers and as it stands none of our laptops support this game.
I have no idea where to begin!
I have the system requirements for the space engineer game which are(recommended):
OS: Microsoft windows 7 (latest sp)
Processor: Intel Quad Core i5 @ 2.5 GHz (or AMD equivilent)
Memory: 3 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 460/AMD Radeon HD 7800 series
DirectX: 9.0c
Hard Drive: 5 GB free HDD space
Audio: DirectX compatible on-board.
Now the RAM and Hard drive I kind of understand, but the rest is just confusing.
He is currently looking at alienware computers due to the coloured keyboard etc but he knows that this will be out of the question.
So my question is can anyone suggest a laptop with similar features as the alienware, and the system requirements as above (at a reasonable price) because I have been hunting on the internet for sometime now and I still do not have a clue what I am doing.
Thanks
