i5 / i7 has turbo boost feature . Overclocking is unnecessary , turbo boost will boost CPU clock automatically (2.5->3.4GHz for example)
OEM gaming laptop like MSI is overpriced , the cooling unit is still cheap , not worth it
BTO laptop ftw ! (Customizable one)
Full HD 17" i7 4710MQ @ 3.4GHz + GTX 870M
You must choose "Special Upgrade Package" - "the Cooling Package" = IC Diamond Thermal Compound + Copper Cooling Upgrade ($94.00 Value!) when you customize that laptop . You can choose GTX 970M for +180$ (870M is default GPU)
GTX 870M is Dolphin killer . 970M is just overkill . Unless you want to run game at insane resolution with alot of AA , 970M will not be the good choice for you
Of course , you can choose a faster CPU like i7 4810MQ (2.8->3.8GHz) for +135$
So on a 4710MQ processor I can run the games listed above perfectly even above 1x IR? Or would I need a 4810MQ? And you own this Sager? For a thousand dollars less? That's crazy! Also how does this Sager perform in mainstream titles like BF4? Also, thanks for this great reply and suggestion man.
1xIR ? You must be kidding .
i have i5 4300M @ 3.2GHz with crappy Intel HD 4600 , it can run most games full speed at 2.5xIR or even 3xIR
GTX 870M will crush anything in its way (can handle up to 7x or even 8xIR for sure)
Sager is good BTO manufacturer . I recommend Sager for many people (include my friends) . Sager uses high quality components such as Onkyo Audio (Made in Japan) . So don't worry about it

It's common sense . A PC that is built by you is always cheaper and better than a OEM PC

Here is a quicklook :
Battlefield 4 on GTX 870M
low 1024x768 ~ 140 fps
med. 1366x768 ~ 111 fps
high 1366x768 ~ 85 fps
ultra 1920x1080 ~ 34 fps

Wow, man. You just saved my ass budget-wise. I'll probably upgrade the CPU to i7-4910MQ and the GPU to a GTX 970M anyway AND get that upgraded cooling system just in case. Thanks a ton, dude. Anything else you think I may need to know? Actually, do know how long it will take for them to ship it to Florida or something?
The best oftion would be i7 4810MQ + GTX 970M + 120GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD (Primary Hard Drive) + 1TB 7200RPM HDD (2nd Hard Drive)
