I have found two laptops.

The MSI one has a better processor. MSI also has GTX 870M (3GB) compared to GTX860M (2GB) in ASUS at same price. Although the MSI one has 8GB RAM you can make it 12GB just at additional 25$. You can customize the RAM and processor both on MSI one. Personally I think MSI offers better bang for buck. In the end it's upto you. Also you would have to add secondary drive yourself at extra cost.
