£500-800 Laptop Build Suggestions

[Fadeless]

Hi all, I am looking to buy a laptop which I want to use for programming and gaming. I don't want to play anything intensive on it such as Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs, etc. I am gonna be playing mmorpg games on it such as Archeage, Elder Scrolls Online, etc. I plan on buying a gaming pc soon anyway but I need something portable since I am going to be traveling for quite a bit during this year.

Few things I would like to point out is that I am willing to sacrifice a bit of storage space for for an SSD. I prefer the quite build so if possible that would be great! Also I don't want the screen to be smaller than 15.6".

Thanks!

Deceptively tricky this one...

You don't fall nicely into any of the laptops, the cosmos can be a bit noisy and doesn't have the best GPU in the world. The others are a bit over your top end budget.

THis is what I come up with anyway.
