My laptop has an i7 4700MQ, GTX 770M, 250gb Samsung EVO SSD plus a 1tb HDD, 8GB G.Skill RAM. Definitely not high end, but it handles everything I throw at it. So, regardless of manufacturer, I would recommend you use my suggestions as a STARTING point. Add RAM and or upgrade to a GTX 780M for even more power. Other improvements can be made at XoticPC or other boutique sellers.
