New laptop specifications HELP!

Hey,

I'm looking for a new laptop to replace my old model (going on 5/6 years old).

I'm primarily looking to use it for university, but very decent in the gaming department too (quite a hard one to mix).

My old model is as such:
- Dell Studio 1555
- Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @ 2.00 GHz
- 4 GB RAM
- Windows VISTA 64 BIT
- Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series
- 300 GB memory

I am looking for a new laptop that will last quite a while - specifically being able to play ARMA II on high stats. The minimum and recommended stats as follows:

Minimum:
Intel Core 2.4GHz or AMD Dual-Core Athlon 2.5GHz
2GB RAM
NVIDIA GEForce 86000GT or ATI RADEON 3650 with shader model 3 and 512 MB VRAM

Recommended:
- Intel Core i5 or AMD Phenom II or faster
- 4GB RAM
- Nvidia GeForce GTX260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770 or faster with shader model 3 and 896 MB VRAM
- Compatible with Direct x11 and a compatible sound card.

Further specs I'd like:
- 300GB memory
- A dedicated graphics unit (I've noticed alot of laptop deals have integrated - but dedicated is better right?)

I'm looking for a 15" maximum screen and prices ranging anywhere between £300-£500 (prefer to steer away from £500).

I would appreciate any help in the matter, excuse my lack of knowledge. When it comes to PC specifics I am not very up to date.

Thanks
