A Dell G5 would be better

The MSI GL73 is also a good option, how much does that cost you?

It has bad cooling

 

Where are you from? Budget? Preferred max weight and minimum battery life?

I currently live in India, and buying a gaming laptop here would cost me whopping 1 hundred thousand rupees but as a solution in India if we import it from outside there is a direct 40 thousand rupees price cut directly for the exactly same laptop (100,000-40,000=60,000 only), this is why i am interested in buying the device from USA. Currently, my budget is $1,000 which converts to 75,000 rupees. as far as dimensions and battery goes i don't really care just it should be 15 inch.

i am not concerned with battery life or weight of the laptop anything will do on that front and for the website where i am buying it from, i prefer buying any device only from the original manufacturer's website cos this reduces chances of any scam or anything as this is the only fear in making an online purchase. And thanks for your recommendations  and i even found your suggestion for Illegar Raven quite good but the only problem in buying that machine is how do i get that stuff from there to India, in USA i have my brother staying there so he can bring it when he comes home or parcel it, can you help me on this front please if you can.

Yes, if i'll be buying the HP Pavilion then i'll make the order on HP's US website and put his address and the payment by his account.

All with 8750H CPU (must undervolt, repaste highly recommended):
