Hi guys! So im planning to buy a new laptop for school and gaming. Hoping to run guild wars 2 medium-max settings with a stable fps. Here are my choices:

1. MSI GE40 20L (if it's still on sale)
- Intel® Core™ i5 4200M 2.5GHz
- 1600x900
- 4gb ram (planning to 8gb)
- Nvidia GeForce GT750m 2gb GDDR5

2. MSI GP60 2QE LEOPARD
- Intel Core i5-4210H Processor
- 1366x768
- 4gb ram (planning to 8gb)
- Nvidia GeForce GT940m 2gb DDR3

3. Acer E15
- Intel Core i7-5500u
- 1366x768
- 4gb ram (planning to 8gb)
- Nvidia GeForce GT840m 2gb DDR3


 
#1 is better due to the GPU.

You should not settle for anything less then the 750/850/950 GPU, 860/960 even better.

You did not provide a link so I have no idea what budget range you were looking at but at the Lenovo outlet center they had Y50s for mid-high $700s with i5 or i7 cpu and a 960 gpu. I would take a strong look at that.

yeah #1 is my first option. My budget would be $800 tops but i live in the philippines where Y50s are being sold for more than $1500s so i have limited choices.
