I have done some looking on newegg (Limited to them because of credit line) I want the most computer for my money. I have no problem upgrading ram and SSD when money is a bit better this summer. So I was thinking best CPU and GPU I can get. I want this to last 3-4 years. I picked a few from newegg, here they are listed from my favorite to least favorite. I don't have a lot of knowledge on laptops just what I have googled over the past couple days.

Pro- Love the look.6th gen I7, 2g 660m, RAM upgrade-able to 32 gig
Con- no SSD, 8 gig ram to start

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232769
Pro- 6th gen I7, 2 gig 660m, 16 gig ram already, USB 3.1 (not sure if I'll use it cool to have)
Con- not as cool as the MSI, No SSD 16 gig ram max

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834319907
Pro- 6th gen I7, 4 gig 660m,
Con- Least cool of all, 16 gig max ram, 5400 HDD,

Pro 6th gen I7, 256 SSD, 16 gig ram, looks nice
Con- Seems everything is slower I.E. ram is DDR3, CPU is 2.5 with less cache, GPU 650m

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315129
Pro- I7, 4 gig 960m GPU, RAM upgrade-able to 32 gig,
Con- 5400 HDD, 8 gig ram to start.
Newest find for me (as i was typing this) seems pretty good to me IF HDD can be easily upgraded.


I'm open to other suggestions I can't go any higher than $1000. My original thought's were ~600 so I've made a huge leap (to me) in price.

I currently have a Sony Vio the battery went so I can't use the laptop with the battery plugged in, It has fallen off the couch ~500 times lol the hinge is broken and the screen is not attached to it's frame anymore and It can't handle browsing Brave Frontier wiki (on 2-3 tabs)

I enjoy playing PS1/2 emulators and I like MMO's tho I'm not currently playing one (couldn't if I wanted to) I was thinking of taking some courses on programming (not sure if this should effect my choice) I am a tab whore I have 10 open as I type not uncommon to have more.
I would like whatever laptop to be fairly easily upgraded HDD and RAM wise
Any help is appreciated.
