Graphics card doesn't have to be anything too fancy. would ideally love to spend $800 - $900 but may stretch to $1K
Spewing that I missed the Lenovo IdeaPad the other day…

Probably GTX 765 ish or better
I'm happy to wait for one with pre-installed SSD to pop up at some stage, but if there is a real bargain without then I would possibly consider it.
GTX 765 ish
That's old.
That's about half the performance of a Geforce 960m.
you can get a machine with this kind of spec for about $1200 ~ $1360
$1360 [Dell Skylake Quad core + 8GB RAM + 960M 4GB GDDR5)
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-Inspiron-15-7000-6th-Gen-i5-…and for $1299 you can get an Acer Nitro with a Haswell Core i7 with the same GPU.
http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Acer+Nitro+…Sorry I'm a bit out of my depth here (hence the initial post) and really don't know what I'm talking about past integrated vs. dedicated.
Pulled the GTX 765 off a list with very little research
Dell Outlet…

An AS NEW Inspiron 15 5000 with 6th gen i7, 8 Gb Ram and AMD Radeon(TM) R5 M335 2GB DDR3
(but crappy screen, sluggish hard drive and optical drive adding useless weight)
$959
I'm actually hoping to get rid of the dell laptop I bought from the outlet, has a crappy screen… sluggish hard drive…
my Dell is fine. good FHD screen, harddrive is a SSHD (part SSD part Disk) and prett good speed wise, start is super fast.
was $695 a year or so ago. They dont seem to have , especially screen.s good specs anymore.
Have a look at the Acer Aspire E15…. It's quite popular as a great laptop which is rather cheap.

That is a review on youtube. If you think it's good for you, then there are links in the description to buy that laptop.
Good Luck!
Thanks mate, probably a bit too basic for me though.
the link is for Amazon and is only a refurbished model and is not available to post international.
What kind of dedicated graphics card are you targeting? A lot of lower end GPU's (e.g R5 M330) are actually pretty pointless and are not that much faster than integrated iGPU's
with preinstalled SSD, you get charged arm and a leg for it. Just upgrade it yourself.
