Disable Intel Speedstep in your BIOS.


Download ThrottleStop(google it), tick set multiplier, set your multiplier to the desired value, untick BD prochot to prevent CPU throttling.

 

Download MSI Afterburner, give your card a small overclock, prioritize core over memory clock.


All of the above will raise your temps, if you throttle because of it, you can buy a cooling pad to keep  the temps down. USB cooling pads are more portable, outlet pads require an outlet, but can have some really impressive fans at high RPM.

Yeah I'd also recommend a getting an used clevo, msi or alienware. Check for ones that can have their GPU's upgraded, as for CPU personally i feel that anything after 3rd gen Intel doesn't make much of a difference.

 

I had a clevo P170EM with a Nvidia 675m and went to a 980m, but cheaper options are also possible.
