Cheap laptop for WoW on the couch

[Roobir]

Item Wanted: Lekker laptop, 15.6" - 17" screen, GTX860m - GTX965m range, i5, i7, or AMD.
Packaging Essential: Some form of bag, not critical.
Desired Age: N/A, as long as it will run WoW at decent frame rate without breaking itself or burning my couch(es).
Location: Centurion
Willing to accept a shipped item: Negative, almost been hurt before.
Ballpark/Budget Amount: R5000.00 to R7000.00 (more if there are extras)

I would like if the monitor refresh rate can be OC'd (don't mind the frame skipping too much). For example CRU used to increase from 60Hz to ~90Hz+. The main purpose of the laptop would be to chill in the TV room with the mrs and casually game or level alts in WoW. I am guessing classic will need more couch time than ever before and the study is too cold at the moment.

Look for a Dell Inspiron 17R - sweet little lappies with a 120Hz screen.

Slightly older but will work great xD

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm looking at the Dell Inspiron 17R now, just cannot find specifications for it. What kind of GPU does it have with that lekker 120Hz screen?

Interesting to see a couple so open to WoW'ing themselves on a couch - derail done.

Oh no no no no, the wife definitely does not participate in WoW! She plays some games on the iphone/pad for matchings colours, bakings cakes, etc.

I am the only degenerate in the house.
