Hey lads,
First off i did try googling, as one says for cheap options to buy a gaming laptop in Australia.
specs that i am looking for are.

980m or 970m
i7 (preferably the 5 series, not looking for the new series)
8 or 16 Gb RAM
1Tb HDD

ill later save and add an SSD instead of a DVD.
I wanna play DOOM, Overwatch on Med/High with good FPS (not on ultra).

I guess i cannot get what i am asking for at that price but thought id ask if someone can help me shortlist laptops for the price(AU$2200) that i can get for gaming.

i know Metabox is a good option but wanna know if ASUS, Dell have any cheap options as well.

PLEASE HELP a Gaming friend in need!
Regards,
BliTz.
