Ok. Thanks for you help.

These are the 2 in question http://www.kongcomputers.com/product-detail/gamers/metabox-alpha-n170rd-ozbargain.aspx http://www.dell.com/au/p/alienware-15-r2/pd?oc=y5185a1au&model_id=alienware-15-r2

Ok. I didn't realize the 2gb vs 4gb was a huge problem. I read somewhere that the difference was minimal. Any info on the Lenovo?

Yeah. It is a Metabox build here. I've never had a 17" before, so that is something that might be good to explore too.

Thanks for the info Matias

Thanks BadActor. I was thinking it may be close to even as well. Not sure on what games. I haven't been playing anything for some time. I was an avid WOT player for a few years. Had to run on low settings. Anything is an upgrade for me at this point.

Yeah. I am curious as well. I'd love to have the 965 but if its not going to outperform the clevo, then whats the point. The AW will have to have an SSD added as well. I was going with the clevo prior to the Dell sale popping up here. I think if I had issues with the system, dealing with...

Yeah. About 15 or 20% over the 960m. Be nice to have the extra horsepower but not sure if the i5 will limit its effectiveness or not.

Do you think the i5 paired with the 965m will be similar performance to the i7 6300HQ with the 960m? This is my problem. I don't have a vast amount of hardware experience. Most of my laptops have always been business or consumer focused. Just thought it would be nice to play something on...

Yeah. UHD isn't really an option for me. Literally and figuratively. 1920 FHD is still an upgrade over what I'm replacing. I miss the US sometimes. Usually when I'm shopping for something.

FYI. The AW15 and Clevo are both just under the $1600 AUD mark.

There was a similar Dell 7559 on sale here a recently. The i5 and 960M version. Just a 1tb HDD though. It seemed good value but couldn't pull the trigger on it for some reason. Matias_4. If you feel the i5 is throttling the 960M, then the alienware becomes less appealing with the 965M...

I'm looking at replacing my current laptop as I have cracked the screen on the current one. Being in Australia, my choices are limited for my price range. It will be used for work and play as I don't own a desktop system, nor do I want one. I don't need to run new games on ultra settings but...
