You're good OP, this will play most AAA titles at 1080p/60fps no problem.

This machine will serve you well for office / browsing purposes, nothing more. Pre-2010 games will work newer ones also, if you call 20 FPS "gaming".

Get a mini-ITX build for gaming.

Do not buy any intel CPU with a "U" at the end of the model number for any application that needs CPU performance, they're meant to compromise on performance in exchange for battery life - it's not the intended CPU for workstation desktop replacement laptop that will be plugged in for most of it's use.

Autodesk or Adobe software pretty much always runs like shit in some situations unless you have a higher-end desktop machine.

Basically, suck it up if you really want a laptop for some reason.

Thinkpad or used office laptop ~300 $
500 left for a mini ITX 2500K / middleclass GPU build.

The highest end mobile GPU can barely compete with a stock 2013 performance class GPU. Most models you get are factory OC'd with better coolers.

If you don't want this, go for a 850M GDDR5 laptop, you can OC it to 960M values if you like, will give you entry-gaming performance on mobile. Possible for 700.
