My budget for a gaming laptop is 900$ max. I completley understand that I could build a way better desktop for this price, but I simply have to have the portability of a Laptop.

Here is the laptop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834313742

It has Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M SLI 2GB in it, and an i5 2400m CPU. I want a laptop that can run games such as Wildstar, BF4, Call Of Duty on playable settings. I know that this laptop runs hot, but I have a cooling pad which works great.

For 900$, could I get an even better laptop? I mean it has 2 GPU's in it for a total of 4gb of vram.
 
It looked like a good deal to me, since the graphics looks as if it was MxM. And the CPU could be upgraded to a Intel Core i7-4700MQ.
 


Wont two 755's do better than 1 765? Or is the difference worth getting an i7 an more ram?
 
Yep the sli will work better. But if you want an i7 get the MSI.

The next one up in MSI you can get a 860 but its about $1500
