How come you are looking at lots of 15" when your prefer size is 17"?
Not many choice for 17" in Malaysia (not popular, brands don't bring them in).
Fujitsu
NH751, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT525M + (1920x1080, anti glare) + Bluray RW@RM4899[3.7kg], 8GB, 640GB (prev gen CPU / GPU, but the spec is sufficient for your usage)
HP
HP Pavilion DV7-6c00TX, i7-2760QM + AMD HD7690M XT + (1920x1080 Anti-glare) + Bluray@RM4499[Beats], 8GB, 2TB(5400rpm) (prev gen CPU)
Envy 17-2001TX, i7-2630QM + AMD HD5850M + (1920x1080)@RM6999[3.35kg][Beats], 2TB HDD (out of your budget, unless you go for grey import, which is cheaper and has latest spec, but usual caveat on warranty apply)
Lenovo
Ideapad G780, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M + (1600x900)@RM2399[3.0kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm); W7HP/750GB@RM2499 (interesting, but i5 may be slightly underpower if you do heavy multimedia rendering)
MSI
GE70, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT650M (2GB) + (1920x1080; anti-glare)@RM4599, 8GB, 750GB(7200rpm), W7HP, 2 years warranty, gaming mouse & backpack, free SteelSeries QCK Mass Mousepad (you should look at this rather than GE60 which is 15"

)
MSI CX70 [0ND-030MY], i7-3610QM + Nvidia GT640M + (1600x900)@RM2999[2.7kg], 4GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W7HP (another interesting choice)
Both MSI is skinny for the power they carry within. Make sure you have good external cooling solution.
