Hello,
I am pretty much completely lost here. I have started to get into Maya and I do quite a bit of gaming. My HP Pavilion g6 has done it's job but I need an upgrade. It'd be essential that this laptop is available to be shipped to Australia as that is my location.

Budget:
$1200 would be great, though I am happy to allow up to $1500 (Australian Dollars)

CPU:
An i7 is pretty much a must here. I'm not too sure on what model though.

GPU:
A GeForce GTX 820M+ would be great. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure on Radeon's side of things.

RAM:
8GB DDR3 would be the minimum.

Storage:
A 1TB HDD or above would be great.

Optical Drive:
Blu-ray reading, writing is not needed.

At the moment, I'm looking at this laptop:

GIGABYTE P15F v2 - $1299

I'm entirely open to suggestions and please take note that I'm not a real computer wiz c:
