That is not enough information to make an informed recommendation.

  • Laptop or Desktop?
  • What Type(s) of games?
    • Internet games or Stand alone?
  • Upgradable, or good for the next few years when you can get something better? 
  • OS Preference?
  • Gaming only, or gaming and streaming?
  • etc.

I currently use a Framework 16 Laptop, solo play (or at least not MMORPG) - because they are easy to personalize, upgrade, and maintain. Before that I used Origin (but their customer service has gone way down-hill). 

Hope that helps.

Given that, you can look up the most graphically intense game that you're interested in, check its requirements, and look for a laptop that's at least slightly above that. If your game asks for 8GB RAM maybe get a laptop with 12 and so on.

Also, if you will play multiplayer, and if the laptop will have its own place on your desk, it's not a bad idea to look into ethernet cables for a more stable connection while playing.

Origin does customized Gaming laptops. Asus has a line of laptops they call "Republic of Gamers" that are designed for gaming requirements. Alienware is, of course, the original "designed for gaming" laptop (now owned by Dell). But @Eluvianii hit the mark - start with the known requirements of the highest-end game you plan to play and just make sure whatever you purchase meets those minimums (or threshold ideals - as some games list both). Expect to invest in a gaming mouse as well (extra/customizable buttons).

My original Origin gaming laptop lasted me 8 years, so while it was expensive at the onset - the fact that it essentially saved me from buying one or two more laptops (and stood up to very heavy travel usage) made the investment cheaper in the long run. If you can afford it, it is sometimes better to go much higher on the specifications now to make sure it will be functional much longer (or, as mentioned above, make sure it is upgradable).
