So I am going to buy a new gaming notebook.
I am now choosing between these two notebooks.
And I have looked to the performance between these to graphics cards they are almost the same GTX 780M is sometimes 10% faster than GTX 870M.

MSI GT70 2OD
Intel Core i7 4700MQ
8 GB RAM
1 TB HDD no SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M (4 GB)
Total: 1048 euros (sale)

or

Asus G750JS
CPU: Intel Core i7 4700HQ
8 GB RAM
256 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M (3 GB)
Total: 1799 euros

But is it worth the extra 600 euros just for SSD, better cooling (heard that ASUS ROG notebooks have a great cooling system) and GTX 870M's features that GTX 780M does not have: TXAA, Adaptive V-sync,G-sync and Battery Boost or just buy the MSI one and buy a SSD seperately later?

(My english may not be the best because English is not my native language)

All help will be appreciated :)

I don't think the SSD and slight graphics improvements make an 80% increase in price worth it.
