Hi,

i think the Lenovo Y580 might be an option.

+ i7 3rd Generation (Quad Core)
+ GTX 660M (2GB)
+ 8GB
+ Full HD Display (the new ones)

- Heavy (2.8 kg)
- 15.6 screen. Too big to carry around all day.
- Not available at the moment (est. september)

Starts at 799,-- Euros.

Personally i would prefer something smaller and lighter. Like 12.1 or 13.3 display and under 2kg. But it is not easy to find notebooks with power in this size. Most are Ultrabooks. Nice to look at, but with U-series CPUs and a really small (dedicated) GPU at best.
I like the Schenker (XMG) A102, but it has no DVD drive and costs more than 1000 Euros with the i7 and GT650M. With an i5 you might find some cheaper models.
