So I'm having a difficult time choosing these 2 Amazing Notebook Gaming and I like both of them but It's hard for me to design which one to go, I'm as student I use for school to study work on Photoshop, project, etc and also gaming a lot.
Blade 14 (2013)
Like
Blade 14 (2013) have the design like Mac book, Simple, Cool, a little bit thin than GS60, 6h battery, Aluminum body and now the Blade 14 (2013) is now down to US$1,799.99 512GB model, it also pack with GTX 765M which I don't know it can handle heavy duty game now like Titanfall, watch dog or in the future gaming with 8GB RAM also do Nvidia Shield or Tablet game stream.
Don't Like
I heard a lot people complain it's getting hot while gaming, the screen 1600 X 900 a lot review also complain about the screen size, Keyboard come only come with one color.
GS60 ghost or 3K edition
Like
GS60 Ghost Pro pack alot of stuff inside with GTX 870M, 12 - 16GB of ram, come with 1080P or QHD+ Display, 1TB HDD, multi color keyboard, the price is also $1,799.00 and 3K is $1,999.00
Don't Like
Battery life is too short, the keyboard is a little bit wired design is the space bar, I don't really know what kind of material they use because I never hold GS60 before but I heard people said it plastic.

Both of them are great notebook but I having hard time to choose and I only could have one eventually for a long time, if would be great if Tom's Hardware community help me choose one of these two wisely.
 
Solution
I'd go for the Ghost in a heart beat, it has far superior graphics and a lot more RAM.

However, is battery that important to you? You could just put the laptop into power saver mode and not watch any videos while on battery.

How's MSI GS 60 perform graphic, FPS in today gaming can it handle most game in high or even ultra.
I know Razer Blade 14 (2013) can handle high and medium with 1600 X 900, but I like the build quality and the design like Macbook and I'm still debate which one to go for.

The GS60 is better. It will play any games on ultra settings 60+ FPS. MSI build quality is better IMO, and design doesn't matter as your staring at the screen and not at the actual design...

And don't listen to dasulman. He is referring to the GT series. The GS series is dual fan, great cooling. Razor cooling is awful.

MSI also has all the bells and whistles, so honestly, go with MSI.
 


No, I'm not referring to the gt series, the gt series does an ok job. The GS series really is a literal furnace of heat.

at parts of the notebook during load, the GS60 reaches 78oC with the majority of the keyboard being around 50oC. That's not only alarming but that really would burn your fingers.
OP, use this review: http://www.notebookcheck.net/MSI-GS60-Ghost-Pro-3K-Edition-2PEWi716SR21-Notebook-Review.118569.0.html
and this review:http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Razer-Blade-14-Notebook.107065.0.html
to make your decision, they will be the most accurate without the bias of forum posters.

Dude I think that the MSI runs cooler and quieter than the razer blade. I read lots of reviews on the RB and it says that it runs pretty hot and loud.

hey dude just to give you some info
There's a 4k version of msi gs60 coming out soon and actually im waiting for it lol , Razer laptops just got blow away by the specs lol

But if u are into design's just go to Razer blade
But if your going to buy the 2013 version of it
That sucks for my point of view , it would be better if u went for the 2014

And also the Msi is not plastic , if you dont believe me then go check some videos of Linustechtips

Btw i dont think that the razer blade (2013) can handle the game's you have said but im not sure maybe it can at low setting only expect for watch dog
