Asus vs msi

[CasualGamer23]

Hello, I am having trouble deciding between two laptops for gaming. Games would be world of tanks, world of warships, guild wars 2.

MSI GE62- 276
ASUS ROG GL551JW-WH71(WX)

The Asus looks like it has a little better specs, but the build quality I have heard is weak. E.G weak lid.

I love the customizable keyboard on the msi and just looks like an awesome computer.

The MSI one comes with a 5th Gen i7 as opposed to the 4th gen i7 toting ASUS (the 4th Gen has 100mhz turbo speed more than the 5th gen, but trust me that's insignificant) . In addition MSI comes with extra 4 gigs of Ram and 7200 RPM HDD (5400 rpm on the Asus). The ASUS is not exactly the one having better specs.
Build quality wise, it a tough call. But IMO, both have good enough durability and I never heard a complaint regarding the build quality from any of my friends using ROG laptops. I also like the aesthetics of ASUS laptops better.

But given a choice between these two, I would go for the MSI.
