Nice choice.
Accessoiries are up to you. A carrying bag is handy, even if it is just for storing your machine at home. Don't pick a too obvious laptop case if you intend to travel with it. Some laptop bags just advertise that you have a laptop with you and scream at every would-be thieve "Steal me!". I got an XPS bag for my XPS M170 and never bothered to use it. It just said: In this bag is an expensive notebook. I don't like every person to know that I carry a notebook.
An external mouse is a real must have. A nice one like a Logitec G5. Its a great gaming mouse and a pleasure to use, also if I don't game. I can't really recommend a wireless mouse, especially if you game you drain the batteries like crazy.
Maybe you could get something as a laptop cooler. Those help keeping you machine cool during gamingsessions and maintain your hardware. With such a laptop you really should invest in stuff to keep it good. -

Well, most cooling mats are good. Just make sure they fit your notebook in terms of size. Just check local retailers and on-line shops.
Wireless mice are nice, but they drain their batteries too fast especially with gaming. Besides they go to sleep after a couple of seconds to save on batterylife. That bad for gaming. My G5 comes with a regular cord. Otherwise I'd spend all my cash on buying batteries for it.

also where can buy a TV Tuner, i dont want one thats a USB plug in i would prefer a PCI one and again if possible one thta doesnt require you to carry an antena around with ya.

If you plan on serious gaming, then go with a cord. Its better. Most high-end gaming mice only come with cords.
Can't really help you with on-line shops. If you live in the US maybe shops like Newegg or Tigerdirect. Don't know any other than that. -
Check those shops to find TV-tuners. Most tuners for laptops are USB or Express card based.

don't know if they sell hardware. But just look around. Maybe a regular shop sells some good stuff too.
