I have a similar model laptop (Dm3 1130us) that I use and have tested quite a few games out.

Games I find that were playable are but not at all limited to...

Half life 2 and all episodes

l4d (haven't tested 2 but I bet it would work as well)

Counter strike: source

TF2

WoW

borderlands and all dlc

Torchlight

Source works great, borderlands surprisingly with the right settings also ran pretty good. Torchlight it well... torchlight. I can let you know as I try other games out on it.

Try Warcraft 3, the original Dawn of War games and you could probably get Starcraft 2 when it comes out.

Half life 2 and all episodes

l4d (haven't tested 2 but I bet it would work as well)

Counter strike: source

TF2

WoW

borderlands and all dlc

Torchlight

Those two and Portal are all on the Orange Box, just so you don't go out and buy them seperately.

I would say get one game at a time so you don't overwhelm yourself. First decide what type of game you want then find the cheapest price. Some times you can get cd keys which are even less and d/l the game from the company.

As your a starter on a PC i would like to tell you that you won't get the full PC experience on a laptop. Laptops are still business tools and not gaming platforms. That said, you might want to widen your horizon as PC has many genres to offer and most guys here will just state the regular FPS/RTS everyone is playing. With a PC you have the ability playing all those old games (with some tinkering) so literally millions of titles are in reach now. You didn't specify what genres/style of games you like but if you don't mind slow paced games with huge strategy i suggest you get Civilization 4 with beyond the sword expansion. Also simcity, heroes of might and magic and all those tycoons give a real unique gaming experience that you only see on the PC.
