Hi, I was looking forward to making a high graphics game in ue4…Something like -The Last of Us 2,The Division ,Death Stranding .However I would have to stick to budget of around 1000$ for a new laptop/desktop. I would also like to use a Nvidia GTX GPU. Can anyone please suggest me the minimum hardware requirement for making such a good graphics game under budget . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aim for a min quad core CPU, 16GB of RAM, SSD + HDD and a GeForce 1060 - this should be somewhat future proof. A 17" screen would help if you’re not planning on moving it around too much, not a must, though.
Something like this but with an extra HDD:
There’s little sense in naming a specific laptop, you’re after components.
- a quad core cpu is the minimum you should settle for, threading is nice but not a must
- you do need 16GB of RAM
- a video card that will not get outdated too quickly, 1060 is pretty good in a mid-range laptop, and affordable these days
- you do not technically NEED an SSD but the quality of life improvements it offers are fantastic, especially in a laptop as these usually come with 5400rpm drives that are sluggish in comparison
If you want something more affordable, look at Ryzen platforms, they tend to be somewhat cheaper and perform well enough in production environment.
Ryzen R5-3550H & RX560 seems to be a popular combo for laptops and should be 30-40% cheaper. The video card is nowhere nearly as good, though. If you need performance, you need to pay up. 
In the topic you mentioned a desktop - it’s a more powerful option for far less cash.
Thanks…
Do you think buying an i5 instead of i7 would be a bad choice? Can you also name a few more laptops because I am from India and the laptop which you just mentioned costs much more here .
