Asus G751 vs MSI GT72 vs Alienware 17 (2015) vs Sager/Clevo vs Origin

[fcar1999ta]

I have been looking at getting a new laptop, which I will use mainly for World of Warcraft with all settings maxed out.
From what I have been seeing:
- MSI and Asus are the top two.
- MSI GT72 and Sager/Clevo both have upgradable video cards.
- Sager/Clevo looks to be available without an OS (I don't need an OS since I am replacing my current laptop and I have Win 7 DVDs).
- Alienware was at the top until I found that the Graphics Amplifier only runs the external GPU at x4 speed.
- Anyone know anything about Origin? Looks like they do custom builds like Sager/Clevo

- I want to be able to run WoW maxed out with good FPS.
- I would like to be able to upgrade the video card, maybe to SLI
- I would like to be able to upgrade the RAM to at least 24GB.
- 120hz+ display would be nice.
- being able to upgrade to M.2 SSD would be nice

Inputs?

This laptop has the power to wow anyone. Origin is good along with Gigabyte and many other gaming laptop brands.

BTW do not trust any brand associated with DELL like Alienware. It will overheat to death.

Alienware is the only one that has a 120hz screen. Asus G751 is 75hz, rest are 60hz. But, MSI GT80 could be a desktop replacement since it can have 2 GTX980s.

I got a customized Sager for a unbeatable price off of XOTIC PC.com and it runs flawlessly with the best possible setup for a laptop (or close to it)
Specs were amazing and the build quality was like that of a gaming Asus laptop.
Specs:
-Intel i7-4910MQ (2.9GHz to 3.9GHz)
-GeForce GTX 980 8 GB of Vram
-16 gigs of ram
-1tb 7200rpm HDD and 500 GB SSD (2)
-price- $2800
For that price and those specs, its amazing. I agree worth others that the CPU is an overkill (you don't Need all that power) but it is customizable. You should really check it out. I went to a store so I can feel if the build quality was good, and it was.

The PC plays Wow without breaking a sweat. Played it all maxed out with tons of fps to spare. May even run it at 4k, haven't tried it yet. I would send screenshots but I don't know how to.

Xotic doesn't have the 120hz option though. HIDevolution has Sager/Clevo with 120hz screen options. I am also thinking of waiting to see if Nvidia releases Pascal mobile GPUs this summer.

I think I am going with this:
Clevo P570WM built by HID - $2550
- i7-4820K - upgrades up to i7-4960X
- R9-M290X GPU - upgrades up to dual 980m
- 17.3" 120hz screen
- 16 GB quad-channel 1600 RAM - up to 32 GB
- No HDD/SSD (already have an SSD)- up to 3 SSD RAID0
- dual layer BD burner
- Intel 802.11 AC
