1. Can you get to 850$?
Then you can get the NP6165 with FHD screen, GT 650M and I5:

2. Do you need a fresh copy of Windows?

I can do $850, and it doesn't come with an OS?

If you can do $850-900 the best deal by far is the Lenovo Y580. It's got an i7 3610QM and a 660m GPU. Although the resolution is a bit lower than you wanted (1366 x 768). But it's still a great laptop and what I ended up getting. http/www.lenovo.com/products/us/laptop/ideapad/y-series/y580/

And amazon.

I would get the smaller and faster 500Gb 7200RPM drive.
