I'm looking to get a gaming laptop for myself for Christmas but, I'm not sure what to get.
I saw a few laptops that look good but, they don't meet my minimum requirements for them.
My minimum requirements are:

Nvidia GTX 770

Intel core i7 4700MQ 2.4GHz / 3.4Ghz

12GB ram

200GB SSD

17" screen 1920 x 1080

I've found a few laptops that meet these requirements but, I was wondering if I could find something cheaper and maybe better.
Here are links to the laptops I found.

I'm considering getting the Nomad-Better version of it.

Could you please help me?

I'm not planning to have a big game library. I'm just getting a few games like battlefield 4, assassins creed 4, LoL, Minecraft, Skyrim and Splinter Cell.

I bought the earlier version of the ASUS-G750 (the one with the GTX 660M Processer. It is a great laptop and has run every game on high or ultra high settings and 60fps (the max I could pull because of my monitor, not the computer).

Any ASUS laptop was built to last, so I would go for one of those.

As far as the price issue, the only way you will get a lower price is to look used or settle for one of the 660s over the 770s (not that big of a trade off in my opinion).

The ram is an easy upgrade so I wouldn't really let that affect your decision too much.

The 200GB SSD is a great idea in theory, but it really does fill up pretty quickly (at least 20GB will be your OS) and will drive your cost up another $200,

I am actually trying to sell mine at the moment if your interested, but that is not the reason I wrote this comment. I truly believe ASUS is the best option, based on the quality I have experienced in the past, and I wouldn't have spent $1,300 if I had believed otherwise.
