After searching for a few days I think I finally found two laptops that interest me. First one is ASUS ROG GL551JW-WH71(WX) from Newegg.

And the second laptop of interest is Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK from Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i7559-763BLK-Full-HD-GeForce/dp/B015PYYDMQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1448896182&sr=1-4&keywords=gaming+laptop

The main reason I'm asking for help is because I can't decide if dell's 6th Generation (Intel i5-6300HQ 2.3 GHz Quad-Core) and 4GB Geforce gtx 960M would be better than ASUS's 4th Generation Intel Core i7 4720HQ (2.60 GHz) and 2GB Geforce Gtx 960M. Would 2GB of video ram be enough for video games at 1080P? And will that 2GB video card keep up with newer games for a while? I'm not planning to use these laptops with 4K television or monitor. Please help, I'm so stuck here and I desperately need laptop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!!

The 960m averages 30-35 fps in games like Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3 at high settings.
The card isn't exactly a 1080p card IMO.
4 GB Vram won't do you much good if the graphic core is weak in the first place.
But if the Dell is cheaper then go with it else the Asus should be fine

Not sure if you purchased yet but when it comes to laptops you get what's available and that's it. But there is one solution that is a bit more flexible. Cleo. Cleao makes a laptop chasis that is top of the line and other companies use this chasis to build their brand of laptops.

Sager is the top dog using cleo. You choose the model with the screen size and video card desired then custom build it. Choose the CPU, RAM, Hard drive that you want and it's custom build, stress tested to guarantee fault free RAM and then shipped. I've priced Dells with similar specs and they can't compete with Sager.

For example a Dell with an SSD is going to be a top of the line with a big video card and be expensive. But you could buy a smaller sager office system and put an SSD in it for a reasonable price. Sager is also always first to market with the newest Intel processors and chipsets, the best mobile video cards, and they have the nicest keyboards and screens, use arctic silver compound, have good heatpipe CPU cooling, etc.... the Cadillac of laptops, but their prices are very reasonable. Unless you happen to get an Asus on sale for a good price I'd be going with a Sager.
