For games I recommend buying a gaming notebook (or even better: regular PC) like Alienware. ThinkPads are designed for professional use and optimized for CAD/CAM and such. A G770 could also be a contender but will not match Alienware or other gaming notebook specifications.

BF3 might struggle on the Quadro 1000M. It goes 30FPS on my Quadro 2000M at 1920x1080 at low/medium. You can definitely get a good overclock on the card though.

The W520 will accept faster RAM and run it faster (if you use matching pairs), but the effect is small.
