850M, 940M, 610M?

How much GPU horsepower do you need?

I'd presume a 940M could run CS:GO at 1024x768 medium 150+fps?

A 860M/960M runs it at medium 200fps 1080p
A 950M/850M would run it probably at around 170fps 1080p
A 940M should be able to pump out 120fps at 1080p

Oh so the second digit means performance, just like in old gen desktop NVIDIA GPUs. I forgot about that. Well, anything with the best possible CPU and GPU combo 14" for the price range would be awesome :)
