I would go with the last one because of having the best VGA(and the second best CPU between those options)

I went to buy this laptop but the site I linked only delivers
within the US,

Could anyone point me in the direction to buy this laptop
from a reputable and trustworthy vendor that delivers in the UK,
I'm living in London.

Thanks you,

 

[Maziar]

There are many sites that deliver to UK but there is a problem with that, you have to pay the shipping cost + VAT(UK) which would cost you even more than its price in UK.

 

[Adeleigh]

Thanks for the advice in pickng my laptop Maziar but I
find my question a little unasnwered, a link to a reputable
dealer within the UK would be what I seek, I was wondering
in your vast experience is there not a direction you could
not send me please. .

Have a look at this site:

http/www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Search/Computers/Laptops/

I couldn't find anything with a decent graphics card to run WoW in the manner you requested though. However, take a look around and see if there is anything else on there that you like and run it by us in regard to being able to handle games, etc...
