Ok so there are my 2 picks of what 8 think are the best for the $2500 price range for me again I am open to others if you guys think there is a better choice and can tell me why or explain why you pick one of the laptop I have chosen also keep in mind the aorus is 16GB Ram but I can upgrade it to match or more than the msi and maybe still be less or same cost as the msi well with that being said HELP ME OUT GUYS thank you

That product you got there is hard to beat :) I could maybe come up with better options in terms of perfomance but will weigh more and/or cost more. Does it have an SSD? how much is it worth? (remember I can't somehow see the links, I guess it's chrome fooling around with me)

Well the aorus is actually gigabyte It's kinda like dells alienware anyways the specs are not so much the same see cpu but the Gpu are different msi is 880M 8GB vram and the aorus is sli 860m 4gbx2=8GB vram the system Ram will be the same

As far as my understanding goes the vram shouldn't stack on sli although they still may be able to double the vram. If the games/programs you have in mind make use of the sli at ~90% then it should be faster than the 880m but in case the software doesn't provide full support for the sli it may be slower. I recommend the MSI as I'd prefer an 880m over 860m sli but that's just me.

Yeah I'm thinking leaning more to the msi as well overall it looks to be the better of the 2 anyone else have any other options that they think might be better than the 2 I posted?
