Search for some gaming notebook - alienware, asus rog, etc. They have superior graphics\cpus, usually lots of ram. Note that you usually can add more ram, change cpu sometimes, and mostly never - upgrade your graphics card. So you should aim for better "fixed" specs, and upgrade what's upgradeable later. Workstation-positioned laptops are usually more expensive.

If you are planning to work in some archicad\autocad, etc, geforce gtx1060 would be enough, or even gtx 960. If you work with software that uses gpus not only for viewport but for some calculations or rendering, aim for high end videocards, or consider using an external one with a rizer (for example, you work with built-in video on your office, and plug your videocard at home to render gpu stuff or play games.))
