1. What is your budget?

1. What is your budget? Anywhere from $1,000-1,500. But 1,500 is really my max

2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? Anything 15.6" or above, I would prefer a 17.3" but a 15.6" would work fine

3. What screen resolution do you want? 1920x1080p

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? Desktop replacement laptop. I don't care if this thing weighs 9 pounds, as long as it's powerful, I'll take power over size any day, but I would prefer something that looks pretty neat, even if it's big and bulky, it can still look cool

5. How much battery life do you need? It will be plugged in 99.9% of the time, so this is not a concern

6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?I would like to play all of my games on either max settings, or the next step down. I play games such as TitanFall (Main game) BF4, CoD Ghosts and GW2

7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.) : I would love to be able to livestream with this laptop, that is my second priority

8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? I'm fine with anything from a single 240gb SSD card to a 1TB HDD, but I would really like to have an SSD+HDD If that's not possible, a decent HDD 500gb should do, but I would really preffer a 240gb SSD, and would like the possibility of having an HDD and an SSD in the laptop.


9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links: I am open to all sites, as long as they ship to the USA

10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? At least 2-3 Years if possible.

11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ? I don't need one, but would like one. If I had to chose between an SSD and HDD or an HDD and a DVD

12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons. I'm really open to any brand

13. What country do you live in? USA

14. Please tell us any additional information if needed. I would really like a back-lit keyboard, or some feature that's flashy, as I would be using it at some lan parties. I would like for it to look nice, even if it's huge. For example the Asus ROG laptops are huge, but they actually look pretty nice. I would also like for the laptop to run as quiet as possible, and as cool as possible, I don't want to be the one making a lot of noise, but then again, I'm fine with anything that's powerful enough to run my games at high settings

buy the MSI linked above from here, you can downgrade the processor since you can save money and the difference is negligible.
Also they'll install an SSD for you.
all under budget.
If you want a gtx 880M, you'd need about $200 -$300 more.

then you could have that with the 880M , the OS, and a nice SSD. Though admittedly it does look pretty bland. And there's also a 17.3'' version for the same price.
