Well, for less than £1000 I'd say you'd have to take your pic out of the two specs above, if you could stretch a little more, this would be amazing:
Chassis & Display
SkyFire:17.3" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3610QM (2.30GHz) 6MB
Memory (RAM)
8GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 4GB)
Graphics Card
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 670M - 1.5GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
Memory - Hard Disk
750GB WD SCORPIO BLACK WD7500BPKT, SATA 3 Gb/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm) Note that the 500GB black scorpio is pretty much the same price (£3 difference) so it is well worth getting the 750GB! You could pick between the 500GB hybrid and 750GB black scorpio though, both are exactly the same price. Basically, take your pick between capacity or speed!
DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
8x SATA DVD±R/RW/Dual Layer (+ 24x CD-RW)

Integrated 4 in 1 Card Reader (SDXC/MMC/MS/XD)
