Hi!!

Could you please give suggestions, since i'm stuck on this choice. There are two options:

1) MSI GX 70 (2nd hand, 1 y/o): 630 EUR

cpu: amd a10-5750 2. 5Ghz (turbo 3. 5)
gpu:radeon hd 8970m 2gb gddr5
lcd: 17.3 collas 1920x1080 fullhd


2) MSI GE 70 (new) - 860 EUR
i5-4200m / GTX765M 2 gb


3) lenovo 59-433473
i5-4200H / GTX 860m DDR3 4gb
 
If it is new, then the lenovo 59-433473. Hands down the best configuration. No. 1 is absolutely out of question as that weak CPU very heavily bottlenecks the monster GPU. No. 2 is OK, but is no match for the Lenovo.
 


But i researched that lenova has the worst possible display? so i'll be able to game at ultra, it will look detailed, but very bad in terms of contrast and overall color :/
 


you are correct sir i have heard lenovo laptops have bad screens when it comes to quality but as the others stated its is the best of the 3 laptops now i just used a currency converter to convert us dollars into euros and asus makes a laptop that is only about 800 euros and has a core I7 which means it has a better processor and it is cheaper than that MSI GE70 you posted here is a link

there is also an MSI GE60 thats better than the MSI GE70 as well it has a core I7 and better graphics and its also about 800 euros here is a link to that one
