Best gaming laptop for under R10k?

Hi guys!

Need some advice please:

I'm looking to get a new laptop for work, but since I'm spending the money, why not splurge a liiiiiiiitle bit and get some gaming going on?

I found a GREAT laptop for under R10k, the Lenovo IdeaPad Y580, but unfortunately everyone I ask say they've been discontinued and are no longer available. Its specs are:

Our Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 review unit has the following specifications:

15.6-inch FHD glossy display with LED backlighting (1920 x 1080)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel Core i7-3610QM quad-core processor at 2.3GHz (3.3GHz Turbo Boost, 6M cache, 45W TDP)
Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 2GB
8GB-1600 DDR3 memory
1TB 5400 rpm HDD
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200 802.11 b/g/n wireless network adapter
Bluetooth 3.0
720p webcam
8X Blu-ray/DVD-RW SuperMulti optical drive
1-year limited warranty (hardware support)
6-cell Li-ion battery (72 Whr, 4.4Ah)
Weight: 5.96 lbs
Dimensions: 15.15 x 10.04 x 1.41 inches (LxWxH)

It's especially the CPU, RAM and graphics that caught my eye... The "successor" to the Y580, the Y500, actually looks to have slightly less impressive specs...

Any ideas on another laptop I could look at in the same price range with similar specs?

Kind regards,

KK
