Gigabyte is too OP for you already IMHO. Their price is mostly luxury range (still got some decent price range one). ILLEGEAR is Malaysia brand, Aftershock is SG brand. Both are using Clevo. Clevo is quite popular in oversea for their good built quality.
GST starts on April. So if you're not in rush, you can always wait a bit longer to see how thing goes.
Also, DO NOT GET MSI GE60 Apache Pro. It has serious heat issue (personal experience, my friend is using it). The CPU and GPU can heat up to 90+ degree C under full load. For that price range better get dual fan model.
Acer V Nitro is best bang of buck currently.
For the GPU, I would top up RM700+ to get GTX970m rather than 965m. IMHO, if I got the money, I would go for 970m/980m, if not just get 860m or 960m (if the price is quite similar, <RM100 different). I doubt 960m is able to play mid high settings on up coming demanding game also, so no point paying more to get it. I would only get it if the price is not much different with 860m
P/S: Just to let you know, ILLEGEAR S5 is having 970m and 965m variant. The price different is just about RM200, so either buck up more to get a top range decent gpu, or just stick to mid range gpu like 860m. 965m seems to stuck in between. (I'm not advertising on ILLEGEAR, just show you an example. Other brand I believe will be doing the same also)
