Which Gaming Laptop to choose?
Hey guys. Im currently in high school, im a sophomore. Im currently in need of a gaming computer. Sure it would be nice if I could take notes with it, but it really is not necessary. What I do need, is a powerful gaming computer, that will last me for at least 2 years. More would be nice. Now I did some research, and then I customized the laptops to have good specs. Ill list all that in a second. I would just like to say that my budget is around $2000. As for games I would be playing, that would be pretty much everything. Sims 3, Battlefield 3, Assassins Creed 3, Star craft 2, Darksiders 2, Skyrim. Now I don't really need to play them all at ultra settings, or the highest setting. Im not that big about that stuff. I just want it to play fast, with no lag at all, at a decent settings. Also by the way, I did ask a question like this already. The Mac is no longer an option. Also. PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST ANY OTHER COMPUTERS. THESE ARE MY CHOICES. So here are the specs.

The second question is. Will both last atleast 2 years? I do not want to spend this money, and get a computer that will break in a year. Thanks guys.
So guys, those are the choices. My budgets about 2k. Please help me choose the best one. Try to list pros and cons. Heres a list of whats most important for me in the laptop.
-IIt can run any game, at a decent setting. High is nice but not neccisary.
-It does not overheat way to much. I do not want to have to buy a cooling pad.
-It will last atleast 2 years.
Thats pretty much it. PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST ANY OTHER LAPTOPS>
