I use an Ideapad y500 (You can get a y510p), and it's absolutely amazing. It's incredibly fast, and the new y510P supposedly has great battery also. It also has everything on your list.
There is no DDR-5
Yes there is. It's used in almost all modern graphics cards.
Processor needs to be at least 3.0 Ghz these days
In a laptop? You're dreaming. You want around 2.4 Ghz.

Ravyne meant as system memory... 
Am I the only one that thinks its kind of laughable to suggest that some sort of game program at a.. I dunno, university, trade school, wherever this is, is asking for requirements that high? Like.. really, if they expect you to tinker with Unreal or something on a laptop I would question the sanity of people running said program.I'm with Frob on this one.. you could probably use a 10 year old laptop if all you're going to be doing is taking notes. If they're really expecting you to run games on a laptop for classes I am mind boggled.Although if you're that interested why don't you try and contact them somehow and ask about it? To me it sounds a lot more like they just took some fancy sounding specs and listed them just to make you buy something expensive to bring.
To get things clear; I want this laptop to be a bit of a beast, do the things I want it to do without problems, and then a little bit.
I understand that I can get away with a I7 at 2,4 ghz and I made some alterations, so here's my new list:
4Th generation I7 @2,4 ghz. Dual core with Hyperthread
16 GB DDR3 memory @1600 mhz
500Gb HDD and 250Gb SSD
Or
500Gb SSD
Nvidia 860m
1920*1080 monitor
Windows 7
Again, no HP, Dell or Alienware
I also plan to record some stuff with the laptop and don't want to just trash all the videos, thus why I want more storage then usual.
This laptop also needs partitions; 1 for school and 1 for myself, so thats why I need some more also.
I'm thinking I probably want the Ideapad Y510P
500Gb HDD and 250Gb SSD

500Gb SSD
You could get a laptop with just a normal HDD in it, and then save up for a WD hybrid drive if you really need it.
A good screen (Full-HD no-glare or better), a good keyboard and a decent weight is all you need. Take a look at some "cheap" SSDs (like the crucial) too...

All of the specs that I wrote can be had for a $1200 laptop that he wants if he shops around the internet.
The trouble with high-end laptops is that they're not very portable, in the sense that battery life suffers - I generally have run my Vaio F series at 50% in the power settings.
However (just to throw another option out there) an alternative is to buy a cheap tablet for note taking (assuming you'll have access to a school PC in class), and build yourself a better specified, but cheaper, desktop for home. Upgradeability and storage won't be an issue then (nor will overheating, which is always a problem with high end laptops).
