Performance: Z400/GT740m > Envy4/HD8750M > V5/GT710m
Warranty support is around the same standard.
Best price/performance: Z400/GT740m@2099.

Since you are casual gamer, perhaps Z400 is the best choice.  biggrin.gif

All can upgrade ram, ssd. Suggest to ask the reseller to upgrade the ram & ssd for Z400 if needed, it will save the hassle for you.

they are overpriced. sweat.gif
their design is pretty good and no problems with build quality. their main point in overpriced is because they are lighter than other notebook brands.

Can consider these as well:
15.6"
Asus N56VZ-S4284H, i7-3630QM + Nvidia GT650M + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3699[2.7kg][B&O], 4GB, 1TB, W8; color: black

Dell Inspiron 15R, i7-3537U + AMD HD8730M + (1920x1980; anti-glare)@RM3299[2.32kg], 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8SL

Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB, backlit keyboard optional, W8

The 2nd pick should be the best if you are looking for a FullHD notebook with good battery life nod.gif
Use remaining budget for warranty extension nod.gif

if you are more concerned about the screen quality, then the Acer recommended by raymond sifu is an excellent choice icon_rolleyes.gif

Dell design seems plastic not?

paiseh. tongue.gif

yup, the acer v3 will be a great deal if you want the screen quality. just one thing you might dislike is the palm rest is gloss coated (fingerprint magnet).

EDIT : for the dell cover design, you might want to read this :
QUOTE(Notebookcheck(Inspiron 15R SE))
The design is completely new. The unusual placement of the hinges, a distinctive feature of older Inspiron and Vostro models, has been abandoned in favor of a new design. The hinges are now located at the far back of the base unit. Unfortunately, the display lid still can only be tilted back about 140°. The lid is made out of plastic which accepts the interchangeable aluminum covers as inserts. With the cover in place, the display is very resistant to any pressure applied. The hinges are strong and easily keep the display in the desired position.

The base of the unit, save for the palm rest, is made from plastic. The chassis is torsionally very rigid but the surface areas deform under pressure. Build quality could be improved: the top appears well constructed, on the sides we noticed uneven gaps. The locking mechanism for the battery is very solid and user friendly.

Most of the surfaces are non-glossy. The interchangeable aluminum cover and the palmrest are made from black anodized aluminum and feature an embossed (but subtle) honeycomb pattern. The sides are made from silver plastic. The three quick access buttons and the keyboard panel are painted glossy.
QUOTE(Notebookcheck(Inspiron 15R)
For Dell, great emphasis is put on individuality. In order to address a large group of customers, the 15-inch Inspiron 15R-5521 is available in four different colors. Depending on the configuration the lid and keyboard shine in either “pink”, “red”, “silver” or “blue”. An upgrade from the silver base model to a different version costs 39 Euros (~$52).

Independent of that decision are the sides, which are made of plastic, and the silver-gray edge of the lid. The casing bottom however is black. Due to the extensive use of metal (lid + wrist rest) and the high-contrast material transition, the 15-inch notebook cuts a fancy and classic figure. Only the projecting battery cover and the extremely thick display frame at the lower part did not appeal to us. The round casing front reminiscent of the XPS 15 is also a matter of taste.

Ultrabooks are not really meant for gaming laugh.gif
Still, can consider these:
14"
Asus [Ultrabook]S46CM-WX023V, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD@RM2399[2kg], 4GB, W7HP

HP [Ultrabook] Envy4-1204TX, i5-3337U + AMD HD8750M + 32GB mSATA +500GB(5400rpm)@RM2399[Beats][1.75kg], 2GB, W8

Otherwise can consider a relatively slimmer notebook:
14"
Lenovo Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty; colors: chocolate
