I have basically narrowed it down to choosing between ASUS or MSI for a decent gaming laptop for no more than $1,500 based on reviews I've gone over for awhile.
I was leaning towards these specifically:

Basically screen size is the only thing I don't care too much about because I'm planning on almost always using my 55" 1080p tv screen.
I would much rather have 16-32 gb memory with more hard drive capacity than paying the same if not more to have weaker internal specs for a 4K laptop. However, in the not so distant future I will want to purchase a 4K tv and would hate to have a new laptop that didn't support it showing up on the big screen. I've read into it a little bit about needing HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2 or DP ALT Mode over USB-C in order for the laptop to support output of 4K @60HZ. Therefore, I want to make sure that the laptop I get will for sure be capable of that. Also, do you feel more memory or hard drive is most important? Do any of the above laptops look like good options to you or can you suggest any that are similar but better in your opinion? I greatly appreciate any and all help as well as all opinions as I am extremely new to this and know I won't be able to get a different laptop for years after this one so I want to make the best choice possible.
Thanks so much in advance for any and all advice!
