Mid range gaming laptop shopping help

My brother's after a new laptop and he's asked me to help.
He's looking for something in the 500-600 range, maybe up to 700 at a push.
I used to rely on amazon for all things computery, but they've gone to shit the last few years and now I don't know where to start.

Here's a vague (made-up) list of specs what I'm looking for:

Nvidia GTX 1050/950 GPU
Intel i7/i5 CPU
1TB hdd (not ssd)
8GB ram
None of those tacky red/blue lights shining from every crack.

I wish he'd go for a desktop rig, but he refuses.
It has to be a laptop.

Figured I can't be the only one in a similar predicament.
Any tips?
