My current computer is dead. I'm borrowing a friend's laptop for now...
But I am going to be buying a 3,000 dollar Alienware laptop soon enough and for what? Only to play Skyrim of course!

Save yourself some money and get yourself an asus laptop. Alienware is usually all fluff, no substance. And for 3k you can build yourself a beast desktop and a good asus laptop to boot. And a laptop JUST for gaming? I don't pretend to know your situation, but if you can, i'd go with what i've already suggested.
Asus Rampage Formula
Intel Q9450 (will try to clock it up to 3.4-3.5 ghz)
4gb of OCZ platinum Ram at 800Mhz (will probably add another 4 gigs if I think it'll help the game run any smoother)
Sapphire HD 5970 (if i see that skyrim can actually use good hardware this time around and can utilize crossfire, i'll put in another 5970)
right now got a 500gb Barracuda, but will probably bump up the total to around 2tb plus a SSD for the main drive. Or maybe a hybrid drive.
c'est ca.
