I'm looking for a gaming laptop that is also functional as a work laptop but it'll primarily be used for gaming (World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, those types of games). I've looked at two on Amazon..

MSI GT60 Dominator 424 : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IZJRBX2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2TC87EJKQMY9O

MSI GT70 Dominator 895: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ITVL826/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2KYIV02F0JSJ6

I would get a Samsung Evo 250GB SSD for the GT60 and it'd still be about $100 cheaper. I don't really want to spend much more than $1500. Are either of these a good choice or is there some other route that folks would suggest? Thanks for any help you can provide, it's much appreciated.

If I were u I would go with the second one because the specs are better for gaming but the top one would be good for both gaming and work but won't be as good for gaming as the second one

I have heard that there are heat concerns with the MSI being a single fan only. Is there a similar product that doesn't have the heat issues but comparable power for around the same price?
