you have to increase your budget to 700$-800$ or you have to low your expectations. I have a Lenovo laptop. Lenovo was founded by the old IBM laptop divison, so they really know what they do.
The one I have costs ~700$ and it's an i7 16Gb ram and nVidia Graphic (2 Gb dedicated). I can play with it, Battlefield 4, CS:GO, League fo Legends and I also work with it doing a lot of software job; Visual Studio Community, C++, Python, CUDA and it's extremly good.
Something like this is going to be perfect for you ;)
As mentioned before getting a 16 GB ram on a gaming laptop with this budget is going to be tough, I would suggest this Acer 15.6 it comes with 16GB of High Speed RAM and 1000 GB Hard Drive.
Powerful and energy efficient combo: Intel i5 (2.80 GHz Turbo) and a dedicated 2 GB Nvidia 940M Graphics chip.
Beautiful 1080P screen with anti-glare finish. it does have the ram you wanted but the GPU is much weaker than what you can get if you have a 8 GB ram, so one way or another you are going to need to compromise for this budget.
So you can 1. increase your budget or 2. get refurbished or used (like this Lenovo Y50 since it has the 16 GB ram, the powerful i7, the better 960 GPU) or 3 . compromise with the specs requested.
