Does it have to be a laptop?

You can build a beast of a desktop rig for R20, 000.
 
Yeah the gtx 680m on the GT60 pretty much destroys the 720m on the cx61 though, and there is no solidstate drive on the cx61 which is a must have in my mind these days :)
 
Just avoid the MSI GE70 range. They get plenty hot (design fault) and the distributors don't give a rats ass about it.

Go for the HP Envy 17 way better than what you linked got mine for R16999 from Incredible Connection and you can add a SSD in it to go with the 2 1 tb hardrives and 740m graphics and is quite quiet for gaming and doesn't get that hot 60-70 degees for gpu.

Also has a 17" Screen which I prefer to 15" or lower, but they do have a 15" version if you want it and mines the J051ei also the CPU is is a 4 series.
