I want to play games like 'The crew' , 'AC Unity'. I plan on buying this guy.

Lenovo Y50-70 Notebook (59-431090)

And I have a couple of questions.

Will it run those games?

Are there any better laptops at this price range or lower?

Is it better to get other variants? (from overseas)

Solution
I would stick with asus as they generally have very good cooling in the rog series. Also, try and not get a slim gaming laptop as they generally have worse performance due to the physical restriction and heat.
 
The MSI went way overboard my budget(in India), and the ROG series too. Since hardware is cheap in US and other countries compared to India, it would be between $750 to $800. Should I definitely not go for the Y-series?
 
The y series will run the games you said probably on medium settings. But I don't know how good lenovo are with their gaming range as they are more of a business company. Maybe someone who has used one can give more info here.
