Need help choosing a gaming laptop ~ $1200

So I'm looking into buying a gaming laptop around $1000+ and I have narrowerd it down to either:

 

MSI GE62 2QE (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE62-2QE-Apache.html#hero-specification)

 

or

 

Gigabyte P55K (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5434#sp)

 

Spec wise they're pretty much the same, so which one should I get? (due to better cooling, build quality, after sales support, etc)

 

Also, is it worth it to wait for the 5th gen intel processors instead?

I personally would rather pick the MSI laptop completely over appearance.

The MSI should be the better model.

 

Another model to consider is this one though: http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8650-clevo-p650sa-p-7847.html?wconfigure=yes

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.
