[HELP]New laptop

[Khm]

so.. since my GPU is dying on my laptop I am thinking to buy a new one, cheap and powerful, does anyone have suggestions for such laptop? (less than $2000)
The current specs of my laptop
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M   
Display Memory: 4048 MB
Dedicated Memory: 2000 MB
Shared Memory: 2047 MB

Something better than those specs if possible (able to at least run GTA V xd)

Do you really need a laptop? (Do you move around, a lot?).

With 2000$, you can get a
A very powerful pc
Or
A powerful pc and an entry level gaming laptop
Or
A powerful gaming laptop with at least  a 970M/i7.

Laptops are generally pretty terrible for gaming. Unless you NEED to be able to carry a PC easily, just build a desktop. If you do need to move it, get a small, easy-to-carry case and get some kind of case to carry your keyboard, mouse and other cables in. That way you get a three piece (monitor, PC, case) setup you can move relatively easily.

[Khm]

Yes I move a lot, specially taking it to school projects that's why I need a laptop.

[Janar]

Would it be a possibility to have PC and laptop both? I have that, taking laptop to school while PC is for working/gaming at home and important stuff synchronized with Dropbox and/or my own server.

[Khm]

Nope not possible.

[Khm]

I can't find any, HELP PLS.

You ain't getting laptops with a lot better specs for that price, especially when you plan to play GTAV on it. Either get yourself a second hand one or you'll be spending atleast 3 grand on a new one.

The laptop that I own know is able to run GTA V whilst it is 3 years old, so yeah..
Found these as examples:

My best recommendation for your laptop choice;
For the GPU - get GTX, NOT just GT.

I'll keep that in mind.

spent around 1800 dollars on my Asus RoG laptop, can run almost every new game on ultra settings with a good fps and zero lag at all, i'm very satisfied with it

Skip Lenovo Y50 (especially UHD, there's no point in UHD on a 15.6 inch display and the fact that the 860M can't handle UHD gaming), it's a budget gaming laptop and you can get better than that for less than $2,000.

http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8651-clevo-p650se-p-7690.html - I suggest you get this. Get this for the price and use the rest for some games.

The 970M is way faster than the 860M (and also 960M which by the way is the rebranded slightly higher clocked GTX 860M)

Cooling performance doesn't look so promising like this one. http://store.asus.com/us/item/201503AM110000029/A23718
