Which G751 would you recommend?

[RMXM]

Hello everyone, so a short question that it's answers would help me out a lot.

I mainly found two models of the Asus G751JT. One with Nvidia 970 and 16GB Ram, 128GB SSD with Blue-ray.
And the other one would be with Nvidia 980, 8GB of RAM, no included SSD or blue-ray.

So which should I get? As they are mainly the same price. 1st with Nvidia 970 or 2nd with 980 but less ram?
I'l mostly use this laptop for Games like WoW, Assassin's Creed Unity, Farcry4, Streaming, Photoshop and Video editing.

Thanks for reading! ^^

Thanks for replying, hmm so you still think it would do a great job for my needs then?
And for a similar price it has do you think i would end up better with a PC?

If you're gaming - go for the GTX 980M. The 970M is close, but personally, I find even the 980M lacking (compared to desktop - which is why I bought this thing - for portable gaming)...so I think you will appreciate the extra power. It's worth "giving up" extra disk or RAM in exchange for the 980M. When I was shopping all brands, I found that the 980M typically added about $300 or so to the cost of the laptop. In order to "make it work" I went for an open box model. That worked out very well for me...so instead of opting for a full price 980M machine, I got a 980M machine for about the price of a 970M one. Well worth it.

You mentioned a 1,000 Euro or $1,300 US budget - in that range, you are only beginning to hit the start of the GTX 970M laptops. So - you will have to make sacrifices if you want to go for the 980M, for sure.

Thanks for the info yeah indeed the 980 will be a better option from what you say and if I get a laptop i'm going for that then no doubt.
Regarding the PC I would actually have 1300 euros for it as il prolly pay 200 for a monitor and be out of budget and still need a keyboard and such so yeah for what i need now i guess that laptop is the answer.

I think you should go with G750JM

The Asus ROG G750JM 860m runs cool, and if you use the latest 344.75 driver and get a USB 3.0 16GB flash drive to do the Asus Backtracker OS recovery partition backup you are set. The Asus Backtracker program only makes at most a 20GB partition for storing stuff, so make sure you get at least a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive and nothing larger than 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive.
