Please help me decide on a gaming laptop

Wait for reviews on RTX laptops first

So, I live in Sweden and use my laptop for gaming, mainly at home. No need for large battery life or compact factor and what I really want is most bang for the buck. I would also like a laptop that has good build quality, is future proof and has the ability to be upgraded in the future if need be. The computer has to be bought in Sweden through a Swedish retailer since we've got great costumer protection. I play Dota 2, Guildwars 2 and will play Metro Exodus and Cyberpunk 2077 when those are released. 

 

I have these 3 that I'm very much interested in:

 

1) MSI GE75 17.3" FHD 144Hz Matte

This is the most expensive of the three but it's an MSI, has a RTX2070 and Thunderbolt 3. Not most bang for the buck though.

 

2) MSI GS73 17.3" FHD Matte 120Hz

Has the older GTX1070 which still seems to be a strong graphics card. I'm worried about heat though as it is slim (which is not something I really need). More bang for buck imo.

 

3) ASUS GL704GV 17.3" FHD Matte 144Hz

Just 1000kr more than number 2 and has a RTX2060. People hate on Asus build quality and I'm afraid there may be heat issues. Larger than 2 though and has a 144Hz screen. Lacks thunderbolt 3 tho which hampers the futureproofing.

 

Please help me to decide and give me your pointers on which way to go.

Agreed, though I do find it strange that there are no reviews out yet.
