The price difference is about 600 apart and some people are stating that the msi is bottlenecked by the processor. If anyone has a better suggestion please reply, Thank you in advance.

The gx60 is pretty good but is bottlenecked by the cpu (games such as gw2, hitman, etc) are unplayable at higher settings. Generally speaking (from notebookcheck review) and toms hardware the gx 60 performs somewhere between a i7 + 660m and a i7 +670m. I'd recommend a lenovo y500 with dual 650m. It will be about the same price and will generally perform better.
