What laptop should I buy?

I've been thinking abaout buying a laptop. I have a budget of around 2000USD. I was thinking of buying a FANGBOOK EVO HX7 with a 780m, but they don't sell laptops with that graphics card anymore, and with a 880m would be more expensive, so I looked for some other options like the G750JZ or the G750JH, I would like to buy a laptop with a big screen and nice hardware, since this will be a desktop replacement (I'm going to sale my desktop) and I will carry it not so often. BTW I'm a gamer... but you may have already realized that. I would prefer an ips panel if possible and a blacklight keyboard. Is nvidia 3d worth it? What laptop do you recomend me?

Go for the ROG G750Jz , but if you concern the weight , you might choose it's MSI's counterpart.

So why the change to laptop? If you don't mind me asking

The most common result of insufficient wattage is a paperweight that looks like a PC

Personally, I'm running an MSI GE60-2OE. Ran me just over $1,300.

CPU: Intel Core i7-4700MQ @ 2.4GHz (3.4GHz turbo)

RAM: 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3L

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M

Storage: 750GB, 7,200RPM Htachi HDD

Screen: 15.6" 1080p anti-glare

OS: Windows 8

 

I can run SRTT maxed out, and Witcher 2 at medium and it gets some pretty good frame rates. I've never looked into the exacts though.

well I'm leaving my country and I'll be living in another country, and I'll have to carry my laptop to the university (not very often) I will also have to carry my laptop when I will visit my parents here in my country.

I got the asus G750JS and it can run most games at max settings. I'm really happy with it and it's all I think you will need. It's also cheaper than the JZ.
