Finally I am able to purchase a new laptop haha. As of right now I have a Dell Studio 1558 and seem to be the only person to of gotten a good one without too many problems; regardless, it needs an upgrade! I am a gamer and a student so performance and price are my two concerns. I know a pretty decent bit about laptops and computers in general and I have looked all over the internet for potentials, but I just can't come to a concise decision.
I have broken it down to wanting a laptop that has...
Price: $900-1,200 It's pretty limited but like I said, I am a college student so money is pretty tight at the moment. (Maybe could go to $1,300 but if I can save money that'd be great, and often times different sites have different prices so usually that's okay)
Processor: Intel Core i7 3630QM (2.40GHz)
Graphics Card: Nvidia anywhere between 650m SLI to like, 675mx (This is my largest area of concern because I have seen many variations of laptops and I have found many that are absolutely perfect except for the graphics card. And I would love to be able to play Battlefield 3 and the new one without problems, I don't need to play them on ultra or even high, medium or low would even be okay, but I would like a GC that can run the games eaaaaasily)
Hard drive: 720GB or 1TB and would highly like 7200rpm (1TB at 5400rpm is just ooookay). SSD is optional, not a huge "must have" for me as of right now.
Memory: 8GB-12GB, no sense in 16GB it just adds extra money and lots of heat.
Screen Size: The generic from 15.6 to 17.3
The three that I am currently thinking about getting are:
1. MSI GE Series GE60 0ND-257US Notebook Intel Core i7 3630QM(2.40GHz) 15.6" 8GB Memory DDR3 1600 750GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M

So any suggestions or even just saying whether #1, 2, or 3 is best would be awesome!! I would really like to purchase it within the next week so I can just put up my feet and relax and game up the summer! Thank you so much!
