Obviously you'd be better off getting a desktop, but you should know that.

Go for Sammy S03-IN, I'm getting the same.
Or get:
Lenovo Ideapad Y500 (59-346619) Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

slightly over your budget, but best GPU in that price range, and has a slot if you consider upgrading it in the future.

^^^ go for Lenovo Idepad Y500.... it is the best laptop out there.... it has FHD and good cooling system it rarely crosses 70C... and the best GPU u can get at this price.... for battery life at full brightness while surfing and doing normal work it easily gives u more than 3 hrs... so u can get an idea of battery life.... i personally feel samsung is not worth it bcos it has heating issues and bad build... in comparison to lenovo Y500...

Whoa, hold your horses there dude - many of us don't experience heating issues - and those who did had significantly good temps after the BIOS update. Just because you own the laptop doesn't mean you can go on and post biased and misleading stuff. Samsung build quality ain't bad, it isn't as good as Lenovo maybe.

And many users have reported touchpad issues with this model, from what I gather.

Earlier touch pad issues were there in Y500 but it's resolved as they changed their touch pad from December. Samsung doesn't have that much bad heating issue, my friend has S02IN. S03IN is cooler than S02IN.
My suggestion, get Y500 if possible (Flipkart now increased price to 67k) or get Samsung NP550P5C S03IN

If u're strictly below 60k then ur best bet is Samsung NP550P5C-S03IN

S03 model is not available in the market now :-(

S05 only is available and it is costing 63k (S03 was 58K).

Only difference in S05 is that it has a Bluray Drive ..
