Looking to mainly play games on this laptop, Storage, Hard drive and battery life dont mean much to me. Im looking for a 970m or 980m Graphics card or something that runs about the same.

These are some of the laptops ive been thinking about but im not really sure what one is better then the other one.

Thats a huge question i have sebastian.
The laptop u said: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Computer-GE72-Apache-Pro-001/dp/B0150PK3FQ/ref=sr_1_16?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1454912692&sr=1-16&keywords=laptop&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A7817234011%2Cp_36%3A2421891011

Or this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014QSTWKK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B014QSTWKK&linkCode=as2&tag=toxislay-20&linkId=MJXN6IKP7L4LMCDD with the 970 option

What is the difference? They both have the 970 but all i can tell is one has a ssd and the other one dont. The more expensive one has the Intel Core i7-6700HQ compared to the Intel Core i7-5700HQ. Is that all? thats about a 500$ difference. Does the 6700 have alot more power then the 5700 for the money? i have so much to learn lol

i think imma go for the asus, i dont need all the bells and whistles the MSI comes with and im power hungry wanting that 980m... Only thing im worried about is gaming for 4-5 hours at a time on a laptop... ive never had one before, would that be bad to do? or would the asus with that advanced cooling make it ok...
