4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 17 inch, must have msata slot for SSD.

What's the best bang for the buck 17" gaming laptop in the market right now?

Pretty much these:
17.3"
Dell
Inspiron 17 7000, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1600x900; Touch)@RM3499 [3.29kg], 6GB, 1TB(5400rpm), W8.1SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr
Inspiron 17 7000, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT750M (GDDR5) + (1920x1080; Touch)@RM3699 [3.29kg], 6GB, 750GB(5400rpm), W8.1SL, backlit keyboard, 58Whr

Not sure about availability of mSATA slot nod.gif

You will be able to get better specs/performance if you opt for a 15" notebook though, since they are more mainstrean and thus more affordable  nod.gif

Already get used to 17", going back to 15" is like a downgrade to me. But I intend to use this laptop for about one year, and when 20nm Maxwell/AMD GPU hit the market next year, I'll probably go for true gaming laptop. No mSATA slot is kinda turned me off.

Most likely this laptop will play Diablo 3 most of the time, a better CPU and not too outdated GPU will serve me well as long as it doesn't run on low setting.

I'm also considering to get 2nd laptop cheap so I don't lose much when I sell it, any recommendation?
