MSI all day every day. Stay away from Alienware garbage.

I would go for the ASUS or, if you are interested, a cheaper 960M notebook which will still handle most modern games at 60fps+ on high: http/www.amazon.com/dp/B00K6ZIMPE

Oh, my eyes read ASUS but my brain told me MSI. Yes, go with the ASUS.
