Basically I want a laptop that is able to run games smoothly, I know laptops aren't exactly on-par with desktops but I still want to be able to play games and stream. Probably going to play BF4, Crysis 3 and some League. 15.6in or smaller laptop size preferred.

I was looking at the GS60 3k Edition, but I heard it gets extremely hot and due to it being so thin, some materials aren't that great?

Anyways, I was thinking about the GTX870M and a i7-4710HQ? I'm not exactly sure since I'm more into desktops, but how great of a mobile GPU or CPU is needed to play and stream (play at 1080p but stream at 720p).

ASUS ROG G750JZ-DS71 17.3-inch Gaming Laptop, GeForce GTX 880M Graphics

This laptop is about $250 more than the other laptop suggested but this has GTX 880M graphics, Can't seem to get a 4710hq many places but this should perform the same, if it's too much there's the GTX 870M model:

The difference is that the JZ has a GTX 880M and 24gb of RAM with a $2,249 price tag and the JS has a GTX 870M 16gb of RAM and with a much lower price tag of $1699.99

Any reasons as to why ASUS preferred over MSI?

I've been looking at the MSI GT60 which has an i7-4800MQ and a GTX880M with 16gb ram as well.

They have better build quality usually and I like Asus since they're more premium

Is the Intel Core i7-4700HQ 2.4 GHz sufficient to stream?

I would say so, I have a 3.4ghz i5 desktop version I would say yes. It also boosts up to 3.4ghz when needed
