From the 3 choices you have, I would say save some money and get the Lenovo Y50-70. It has the same processor as the G551JM-CN183H and graphics card. The screens are the same. The differences is that is has a 16 SSHD more which has no significant difference in performance and the Lenovo Y50-70 does not include a blu-ray writer, so if you use discs, then thats a no for the Lenovo.

Why not to get the MSI GE60: costs a lot more for a slightly better performing CPU and a card that performs just as well as GTX 860M with a few letdowns.

Why not to get the G551JM-CN183H: Costs more for nearly the same specs than the Lenovo Y50-70.
