Something like the Lenovo G50-80 is probably a good choice.

It uses a current gen. i5-5200U (Broadwell) with a fairly powerful integrated iGPU.
4GB of RAM which you can upgrade and a 1TB HDD.

It only uses a HD+ display, tho. That means 1366x768. For me it would be a problem, cause it's only a 15'' notebook.

A little benchmark so you get an idea of the 5200U.
