so im leaving for korea in the winter and want a gaming laptop while im there i dont want my huge ass PC over there these two are what im looking at

SAGER NP8268-S
which comes with a
Intel® i7-4810MQ
15.6 inch
NVIDIA® GTX 870M [6GB]
1 tb hdd and blue ray
1279.43 plus 80 for os

or this
MSI GT70 Dominator-895
17.3" FHD Matte
Intel® i7-4800MQ
NVIDIA® GTX 870M [3GB]
1 tb hdd
no blue ray
1399 with os and i can also save 108 dollars by switching to a i7-4700mq

i play watchdogs, dayz, arma, battle field, COD

 
the first choice is smaller (+) has more VRAM (+) and has a blu ray player (+). both of them are practically similar in performance so i'd go with the first choice because of the pros i just listed. also, they should have no problem playing the games you want to play as well
