I'm looking for a laptop with a 240gb SSD (or more), Intel core i5 (or more), a 1080p screen, 16gb of RAM, and a crappy GPU like the 950M to do some light gaming such as rocket league, TF2, and Farcry 3.

Does such a laptop exist?

comes very close, but it doesn't even come with an SSD, and i cant go a single penny over 1000$

It has a 940MX which isn't exactly a 950M, but it can easily handle the games you want to play on it.  It comes with your SSD, and you could very easily add another 8GB stick of RAM as it's in single channel leaving a free RAM slot.

Also, it's only $550.

I own an Acer Apire V5-591G-58Z3 (couldn't find an international purchase link for you, sorry). It has an i5-6300HQ 2.3GHz, 950M, 1TB HDD and 8GB DDR4. I am very happy with it so far, and from experience I can tell you that it can play Rocket League and Far Cry 3 just fine. It also has a SATA 3 M.2 slot, in which you can put a (sadly not an nvme) SSD if you want, which I will recommend since the harddrive isn't the best. I don't know what kind of work load you're planning to use this with, however I've yet to have ANY problems with running out of RAM, so 8 GB is plenty if you just want to do those kind of games. It's a 1080p 15.6 inch screen, so I think it fits your needs just perfectly. 

Acer also has this model, which is practically the same, just the harddrive has been replaced with an SSD if that fits your likings better. I do not know if that one has an M.2 slot or a place for a secondary drive at all though.

And what are your temps if I may ask? In a game like Witcher 3 or Far Cry 3 for 20 minutes?
