Because 1 one you get a lot better bang for your buck than a razor blade. Also the 17 in one very heavy. I also use a Predator 15 and I think it is a great laptop.

Battery Life is a big thing also if you get a predator 15 you need a 17in bag so keep that in mind.

Thats why i say go to micro center to find a good laptop with long battery life. Also to see how loud it is.

I have a predator 15 I like it but the battery life is not long maybe 3 hours max. I suggest the razor blade. Find out if you live near a microcenter because I got my predator 15 for $1299. They also have a lot of other gaming laptops there like razor blades.

I built you a part list on pcpartpicker my idea with the part I chose is you will run raid 5 and it will be almost silent. Also it is $68 over budget but you can go to a cheaper case and cpu cooler. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fkMKQV

A couple of questions 1.What is the make and model number on your router this is usually found on the under side. 2.
