Fair enough. Anything with over 3GHz should be fine if it doesn't have 'book' or tablet in the name.
This one is fine
Anything from this list should be more than enough
My year old Asus runs it at about 60fps (with dips in areas of high traffic and certain dungeons) 1080p with most of the settings on 2-3 and no anti aliasing. It's got an intel core i7-4720HQ, 8gb of ram, and an Nvidia Geforce GTX 950M. A 940M could probably run it a bit slower/lower settings, but I can't guarantee it (laptops with 940Ms seem to be around $650 on Amazon).
This looks like a slightly better version of mine for just under $800:

Or this if you prefer an SSD:

In between the two there's this which nearly the same model as mine:

I love my Asus laptop but their support stinks. Looking at Asus laptops just sub-Rog and looking around for a deal on them is a decent way to find a good model for a good price.
Even under 700 this is still your best option, but you can also consider this Asus R516UX it comes with the same GPU, dual core i7, 8 GB of ram, 1 TB HDD.
