Hello,

I have a laptop with Intel i7-4700HQ, Nvidia Gef. GTX850M 4GB VGA, 8GB RAM. Model is ASUS N550JK.

All I need to know is which one is the best Linux Distro ? There are so many...

Try Ubuntu. It has a mix of good hardware support, long term support (5 years on the latest release), has a very large user base and help forum, works well out of the box (there are articles on what to do post-install for more very useful features), a huge distro so it has good developer support. A lot of new users also like Linux Mint which is based Ubuntu, but tweaked and maintained separate. The user interface is a bit more similar to windows.

The *buntu base is a good choice for you. However I would rather choose Kubuntu with full featured KDE desktop which could be more user friendly for Windows users. No need to change your habits, simply adjust linux to fit them :)
