Need help on my Msi decision

hey guys..since 1 months i am looking for a good effortable gaming laptop..and i decided on Msi
i need help here..i am going to buy the laptop on computerupgradeking.com (also would like to hear comments about this website..is it trustful ?)

1-) Msi GT60-2OC-022US

-Intel® Core™ i7-4900MQ Quad Core Processor (8M Cache, 2.80GHz - 3.80GHz) 47W
-nVIDIA® GeForce GTX 770M GDDR5 3GB w/ Optimus Technology
-24GB (3x8GB) 1600MHz RAM
-1TB 5400rpm HDD
-250GB Solid State Drive

Total Price : $1,964.00

2-) Msi GT60 2OD-026US

- Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ Quad Core Processor (6M CACHE, 2.40GHZ - 3.40GHZ) 47W
-16GB (4X4GB) 1600MHZ RAM
-NVIDIA® GEFORCE GTX 780M GDDR5 4GB W/ OPTIMUS TECHNOLOGY
-128GB MSATA SSD + 1TB 5400RPM HDD

Total Price : $1,999.00

so first one has better Processor , RAM and 250GB SSD second one has better Graphics Card
what you guys think..both has almost the same price(which is the last price i can pay $2.000.00)..which one has better gaming performance ?

thanks in advance

 

1. Better processor, sufficient GPU, larger SSD.
This is going to be the best all-around.

2. Standard processor, better GPU, smaller SSD.
Best GPU, but with CPU-heavy games it will still lag. Better upgrades such as CPU is definitely welcome.

 

Out of those two choices, for gaming purposes, the second laptop is a much much better choice for the same $$$. RAM is irrelevant for gaming comparing 16 to 24GB, no game uses that much. The 780m is significantly faster than the 770m, and is the best GPU currently available. I've got the i7-4700MQ CPU and nothing comes close to maxing it out in gaming in actual usage and has yet to limit anything I've tried... the marginal difference will be more than offset by the faster GPU.. Go with option 2; GPU is more often than not the limiting factor, especially if you want to use the machine for any extended amount of time. Storage options are cheap and easy to upgrade later if you ever desire.

Having said that, either machine will run games great, option 2 will simply run them better.

 

I don't recommend upgrading to a 4900MQ. There's almost no difference between that and a 4800MQ so the extra $150-250 is going to give you very minimal performance gains, if any. I suggest you go with the 2nd option and add a 4800MQ. If that's too expensive, then go with the 1st option but downgrade it to a 4800MQ.

 

Agree that the second option is probably better. The smaller SSD is supplemented by the 1 TB mechanical drive, so unless you think you'll need the extra head room for your programs, this configuration should treat you well - especially with the more powerful GPU. Personally, I think the 4700MQ is adequate for most games, but if you have the budget and option to upgrade to the 4800MQ, go for it! Just be cognizant of your temps, as both the 4800MQ and 780M are liable to produce more heat when they are stressed.
