I wont give you a specific answer, as deals varry by location. What you would be looking for is a 4-6th gen I7, with anything but a u designation. For graphics card a 970m though if your lucky you may be able to score a 980m. Ram would be a minimum of 8GB and that is all you realy need (most laptops allow easy upgrade to 16GB, and a 8GB stick costs aroun 40$). Likewise, fair few laptops allow for a additionalSSD expantion, if the laptop has that, and it is easy to get to, you can add in a 250GB 850evo for 100$, or a much smaller SSd for less if you only want a boot drive.
I would look at sager, msi, and asuse for laptop brands, as I find they have more reasonable price to preformance ratios.
