    Have about 600 to 700 euro to play with. I know gaming laptops don't really come that cheap, but even just something to keep me going for the next 4 or so years in terms of gaming without much grief would be great. All suggestions welcome and thanks in advance.

    This one is pretty good.

    Probably wont be able to play the newest games in high detail but your budget won't really get that anyway.

    You can choose from the following:
    1. Alienware 18
    2. CyberPower FangBook X7-200
    3. MSI GX70 3Be-007US

    You do realise he said 600-700 right? Where exactly can you get any of those for 700 or less I'd like to know. The Alienware 18 is nearly 2 grand for god sake.

    That is not a good laptop for gaming. GT720M is very weak.

    Have a look at PCspecialist.co.uk, they have a great range of customizable laptops, and you have the option to detract the price of Windows if you have your own copy or whatever copy, which is a great feature. For example you can get i5-4200M, 8gb Ram, GT740M for 669E, which is way faster than that laptop above.

    Have a look yourself anyway and mess around with the different options and size laptops. You can get the 14" Skyfire model with GTX760M graphics and i5 CPU for around the 700 mark as well, which is exceptionally good, the 760M is a higher end mobile part and can be found in laptops that cost well over 1k and beyond.

    If you are interested for gaming laptop then it is better to judge all available laptops at different criteria like price, performance and usability. I also checked various resources of experts couple week ago. Then i found that MSI GE40 2OC-009US seems nearby the best.
