Buying Laptop for Games

[Tokerovin]

I would like to invest in a new gaming laptop.

Budget: ≤$1000

Requirements:
-Run GTA V/FarCry4-esque games at comfortable settings on attached panel and/or an external UHD or 1440p monitor.
-Full Keyboard
-At least 512GB storage, 8GB RAM, Core i7 4th-Gen, nVidia GTX w/2GB+ VRAM.
-USB 3.0
-1080p or better attached-LCD panel.
-2.5 hours minimum span without AC connection.

I would prefer not to have an OS on the bill, as I will reformat it when I receive it.
I need to find something pretty quickly, and I'm more or less writing this to see if anyone has had success with a recent laptop purchase and would make a solid recommendation. Bonus points if it's an ASUS.

Special gift for anyone who recommends something I purchase and highly regard!

I've been looking at Lenovo's website (tsk tsk) to see how cheap they got after Superfish freaked everyone out. It seems like some really reasonable sales if the quality is there, and the reviews on some of these are interestingly positive.

a wild ASUS

this one you listed is your best bet. iirc it has like 5 hours of battery life, and a GTX 960M that could probably run GTA V on ultra or so.

if the price is the problem, wait for a sale, but that computer is pretty great especially compared to your requirements

I heard the y50 is really good. It's probably your best bet here.

I'm pretty excited that you guys reinforced my findings with both comparative evidence and experience.

I wanted to bump this topic once more before I make a decision in case there is any other input. The Y50 seems fantastic for a Lenovo, but deep down ASUS is my true love.
