I dont suppose you could link me to the best custom build on XoticPC preferably around $1100-$1300?

There are just so many options, and to my own knowledge i do not know too much about. I'll just post the list of what i've found so far, or have been suggested. If you are willing to pick out the top 2-3 that would be awesome. Though i am quite interested in the dominator as well. Anyways heres the list

$1325 MSI GT60 Dominator-424 i7-4700MQ
$1480 ASUS G750JX 17.3"
$1185 MSI G Series GE70 2OE-017US 17.3
$980 MSI Computer Corp. MSI GE60 2OE-003US;9S7-16GC11-003 15.6"
$1200 ASUS G750JW-DB71 17.3"
$1070 Alienware 14 ALW14-1250sLV 14"
$1300 ASUS ROG G750JM-DS71...

Whats that SSD for? Not familiar with them, and is it a plugin or a take apart laptop, then install? Can you have that cooling pad resting on your lap? I play while sitting on a lazy boy lol so laptop is always on my legs.

and of course, do i need the SSD for it to be a good laptop for gaming? Since, i may not be able to purchase it right away

$1250 MSI GE60 Apache Pro-003 15.6"
$1250 CyberpowerPC FANGBOOK EVO HFX7-200 17.3"


Preferably the cheaper ones, since i will most likely be buying that SSD and Lapgear, and of course shipping will be expensive.

You think the anti-virus pack you can choose is worth it? If i include it, it would be $1325, without it $1250

The sager's also look quite nice and are cheaper. Why choose the Dominator over the Sager? Is there much of a performance difference, etc?
