I am looking to buy a laptop from circuitcity.com and from various reason that is the only place I can buy it.

I am looking for a decent gaming PC for as good as I could get.
Vista home premium and DVD burner and best overall performance.

My price range is around 800$ but not much over.

Any suggestions?

Are either of these decent ?

I want to play the lord of the rings online game when it comes out. Will it play that ?

The gateway is about as high as I can go.

i would try to find one that says it has an nvidia chip in it.  those are just intel chips and i do not know if they are any good.  my notebook has an amd X2 and a Nvidia 6150 and it plays Battlefield 2142 (note:  notebook is for school but i just wanted to test its capabilities)

$800 will barely get you a good desktop. Dell makes the best budget gaming laptop, but it will still cost you over $1600. And no, I don't think any integrated GPUs will run LOTRO. Sorry.
