You can consider the following models:
1. Asus GL552JX-DM174H 15.6” FHD , i7-4720 , 4GB , 1TB , GTX950 2GB , W8.1 : RM3074/-
2. Dell Inspiron 14 7447HD-71814G-DOS Laptop/ Notebook (i7-4710HQ, 1TB, 8GB, NV GTX850M, DOS) RM2,819/-

Personally, I would prefer the 7447.  thumbup.gif

Thanks for your suggestions.

But if Dell product quality trustable? As I heard from few of my friends, their Dell laptop always spoil once the warranty period end. Although their service is quite good, but I think if the laptop keep have problem is quite annoying.

I would recommend the GTX 970M now and upgrade the RAM and SSD on your own volition later. As pointed out by Illegear's rep, the GPU is soldered on and cannot be changed. This means that getting the better GPU would result in a better future proof rig as there is no telling if you're gonna get hooked on a more demanding game... Or if you end up hooking your laptop to a 4k monitor tongue.gif

Also, its usually cheaper to buy an equivalent RAM and/or SSD upgrade from an IT shop and install it yourself than taking it as an upgrade direct from the notebook manufacturer, which means that you would technically save yourself a few bucks in the long run.

Of course it is trustable. Most Inspiron has 2 years onsite warranty. And most importantly, you are the one that need to look after your laptop. Do some maintenance regularly. For instance, repaste thermal paste, clear the dust in your laptop and etc. The more maintenance you do, the longer it will last. icon_idea.gif

These two models are one of the best for your current budget. So, nice choices there. You can also look up
Asus GL552JX-DM174H 15.6” FHD , i7-4720 , 4GB , 1TB , GTX950 2GB , W8.1 : RM3074/-

You can upgrade them to your SSD. No problem with that I suppose. icon_rolleyes.gif

thanks for the input sifus, i've decided to go with the 970 already with a trial windows 7, like that i save the extra rm300+, and able to wait for windows 10 to stabilise first, then i'll buy it's license.

btw if i use windows 8, the upgrade to windows 10 is permanent? or i've to pay later on?

If you're using an original version of Windows 8.1 Core or Pro versions AND upgrade within a year, then yes.

windows 10 cost $119 estimated.

means if i get windows 8.1 (rm309) , then upgrade later on, more worth lo? @_@

or stick to window 7 trials,

upgrade to 10 in the future once it's stable.

which would u advise?
