Get this:

XOTIC PC | Sager NP8640-S (Clevo P640RE) - 14.0" Gaming Noteboo

or

XOTIC PC | Sager NP8657-S (Clevo P650RE3) - 15.6" Gaming Noteboo
(higher screen resolution)

Forget about touchscreen, battery life, lightweight metal build in your budget or for your intended purpose.

If you are okay sacrificing i7, touchscreen & metal build, get Dell inspiron 7559 i5 version, priced at 83k. It has 6 hours battery life, great GPU & an additional M2 SSD slot, which will come in handy. The i5 is a quad core one with performance similar to 3rd gen quad core i7, so it's good

Otherwise get Lenovo Y50-70 priced at 85k(with IPS display & GTX960M). But you will sacrifice touchscreen & battery life (Also no SSD slot)
