What's going on guys. Okay, so I'm getting a laptop for college (for computer science classes) but since have wanted a laptop for a while, I'm looking for a more long term one.
What I will use it for:
I am primarily picking my components to be able to handle 1080p video editing (higher res if possible, not a need though), compositing and VFX at 1080p. I am also a huge gamer and want to be able to get games like BF3/4, GTAV, and games of similar caliber at 60fps at Med settings. This is second in line for priority, I'm really only planning to playing Rocket League, LOL, CSGO, off whatever I get anyway.
What I want in my laptop
-i7, 4th gen or newer
-12GB ram (16 pref)
-AT LEAST a GTX 860
-7200rpm HDD at minimum for storage
-15.6" screen at 1080p. (I don't need anything more)
I've selected from my research 4 laptops which have about what I'm looking for which are listed below. I don't want to spend more than $1100 and won't go more than $1200 unless it has an SSD in it.

Ive already looked up reviews on all 4 computers but they lack specifics. What I'm looking for from you guys is reviews based off of experience with any of these laptops and what you use yours for, temps, customer service experience, or suggestions on components or other laptops that fit what I need from it. I've had great success on this site before so don't me down. Thanks!
