Its one of the big laptop manufactures I imagine it is good. Just try and read some reviews on the different laptops and maybe shop around for a week until you find one you really like. Check out specs on the gtx 760 and 765

I think for the added price the msi gt70 is worth the cost

LOL you are just like me start with a modest pc start shopping and reading reviews and the price goes up HA HA . In my honest opinion for gaming get the best possible graphics card you can afford (with in reason). I am sure you have read reviews the 780 is a huge upgrade from the 760. In that price you have a lot more choices it really gives you a much broader range of laptops.

Used on ebay the 780m is selling for over 600 euro

I know right? But the fact is without being able to upgrade GPU and CPU, and not being able to buy a desktop (need to move often) I'm worried getting a 'cheap' GPU now may lead to having to change it real soon.

Yeah it's superior, but what about upgrading then?

 

[pfunkmd]

The msi will not start to show its age for at least 2 or 3 years minimum, the other will show its age immediately. I have been looking around and I think the msi has an up-gradable GPU almost positive. The CPU SSD HDD and Ram changeable.

I found a website selling the gtx 780 that fits in the msi so yes you can upgrade

Good to know, thank you. I will wait until mid-march (GTX 880m coming out) and see if that's still an option
