A good laptop for gaming?


So I'm trying to get a new laptop for gaming. I'm pretty mobile so I have a laptop to play in places that I wouldn't be able to set up a desktop.
I'd like your recommendations based on the following criteria:

My price range is from $700-$1000. I can do $1100 if I really try.

I need it to have the following:

1. At LEAST a 1 TB hard drive.

2. Be able to run GTA V in decent quality. When I say decent, I mean with little to no lag. Doesn't need to be in top notch, highest quality.

3. PREFERABLY one with a disk drive. I know disk drives are becoming less common, but I'd like it all the same.
HOWEVER. If your suggestion doesn't have one, it isn't a deal breaker.

4. PREFERABLY a laptop which is NOT called a "Gaming" laptop.
Try to aim for one that might be described as a "high performance" laptop, rather than a "gaming" laptop.
I know this is a weird condition.
But again, this is NOT a deal breaker.

5. PREFERABLY a laptop that has Windows 10, but I don't mind Windows 8.1.

I have a few ideas so far if you guys would be willing to comment on them.

Dell Inspiron i7559-2512BLK

Added (1). Other than any recommended models you guys might suggest, which of the two laptops that I suggested would be better?
I'm leaning towards the Dell.
Added (2). And please include a SPECIFIC MODEL NAME.
Dont just say "I'd recommend you get an HP" and just walk off.
A specific model or a link would be great.

Thanks in advance ^_^
