Hey guys,
As mentioned I'm planning on buying the msi ge60 from here http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=301420979607
My only problem is it ships from German company so is presumably German keyboard and Bios. I was also plannig on putting in an SSD as well so total would be round €1000 with shipping.
I really like this laptop but I'm not sure if it wise to buy from a country with different language. If anyone else has done this before can they give advice?
I am also open to other options that are ~€1000 maybe €1100 but keeping in mind I live in Ireland so shipping from US isn't likely due to shipping.

Hoping somebody can help me out here, thanks :)

Have u considered getting a gaming desktop? U could get one for the same price and it'd be 3x-4x more powerful. I remember when I made the mistake of buying a $1000 GE70 0ND-033US gaming laptop, it was a waste of money wheN I look back at it cuz I was only able to play BF4 on low 60 FPS while with my new custom built $1000 desktop I can play it ultra 80 FPS avg. :p

I experienced the same mistake, my ALW1715306SLV laptop was very expensive, but when I built my desktop for a little bit more a was playing in 4k no problem

Arma, counter strike, dark souls would be the kind of games, but I'm not extremely fussy about graphics as long as it would still play games decently in couple years time :)

Not sure if anyone does all the eBay listings are from US but I wouldn't mind the shipping if I don't have to pay import charges. Don't think it's available with European retailers :(
