hello
i am from Tunisia
my budget is around 2200- 2350dt (850$ - 900$) 
in usage itll be forward gaming and little work( programming and maybe some photoshop that s all) 
the weight does not matter and the same goes for the battery life too

For your budget, you can get 7700HQ+1050TI in Nitro 5, however it has CPU cooling issue (requires repaste+undervolt). Has OK-good build quality

 

If you can deal with 7700HQ+1050:

1. Lenovo Y520 - entry level IPS panel, OK-good build quality

2. HP Omen 15 ce - OK-good build quality and cooling

3. Asus GL503VD - OKish cooling (needs repaste+undervolt)
