I want to get into pc gaming I don't know much about and would prefer to buy the laptop from a known site and I am not really looking into building it. The laptop also needs to work well for school and have at least a 14 inch screen. (I don't have any extra parts like a screen, mouse, keyboard etc.) any help is appreciated thanks.

COMPLETELY maxing skyrim on a laptop will be dang near impossible. I have a desktop with 2 6850s in crossfire and an overclocked phenom that are faster than any laptop could ever hope to be... yet even at 1360x768, Skyrim STILL gets choppy for me. I have to turn down AA to 4x and shadow quality to high.
On the other end of the spectrum, my $579 HP dv6-6140us will play Skyrim on high settings with a few mods like a champ. Visually, it's hard to tell the difference between high on my laptop and ultra on my desktop (until you install texture mods, of course).
A lenovo Y570 would do the trick. Thier build quality is legendary (which they inherited from IBM), and the speakers, graphics, and screen in the Y570 are great for gaming. You can get the Y470 if you prefer a 14" screen (15.6" and bigger is a pain to lug around).

If you need more horsepower, you'll have to get a 17.3" monster

Good cheap gaming laptop?

I want a gaming laptop that can play things like Dragon age origins, skyrim, world of Warcraft, without lag. What would be a good laptop for those games for under 800$?
Answer
Gaming needs really good speed so you can play games without any delay. The laptop which I think has good processing speed and comes under your budget is Acer Aspire V3-571G-9686. It has a good combination of superior features and also affordable price.
It has Screen Size of1 5.6 inches which is really ideal size to have. The most important is its Processor2.2 GHz Core i7-3615QM which is really fast and efficient and will be helpful in playing games. It RAM6 GB SDRAM and Hard Drive 500 GB SATA. It has Graphics Coprocessor NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M which will give you superior graphics and It has Average Battery Life of 4.5 hours. So overall it is really good laptop.
Look at it for further details:

I would like you to see this comment from an actual user as well because the better would be explain by the actual user that how it really performs:
