I would suggest checking out http://xmg.gg/ - the A504 if you want a 15.6 inch or the A704 if you want a 17.3 inch display. I've gotten my hands on a 17.3 one and I must say I am impressed. All it had additionally was instead of 4gb Ram - it was boosted to 8gb and instead of an i5 it had the i7-4710MQ. With the GTX 860m it ran smoothly. Also the build quality is quite impressive.

hello, thanks for the reply :)
i think i'll get a ASUS N550JK-CN015H because it has a rather good price and good specs
i'll consider that site when i'll have to buy one for me, but for now i'll stick with asus as there's a good Asus shop near my house! ;)
