Any good suggestions for a good gaming laptop for around $1500

I'm getting one for my second year of college to replace my old Macbook. What are some good ones on the market right now. At this point, a good list that I could compare between would be good.

Including the one above me, here are some recommendations:

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series, 7559 - best budget price to performance laptop(currently at $780)

Key feature: Core i5 6300HQ, GTX 960M, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD

MSI GE62 Apache Pro-239($1300)

Key features: Core i7 6700HQ, GTX 970M, 12GB RAM, 1TB HDD
I would suggest to switch the HDD for a SSD for overall faster laptop performance.
