I dont know if the i7 has 2 or 4 cores but, I plan mostly to be gaming in gtav for pc and probably building some c++ and maybe blender plus Photoshop and editing some old videos for use in a music video/commercial(something more or less for this guy needs some video sliced together and possibly rendered in a different format; nothing I haven't done before with a presumably much more limited than any of these laptops. But I don't know much about laptops and thus dont really know how the specs on any of these machines match up considering the power consumption properties, or lack of laptops presumably adhere to. and any associated performance drops.)

My choices are pretty much limited to the following four... I don't have time to wait for amazon or the mail so I am kind stuck with a cash buy.

price is a factor as I would possibly save any money I really dont need to spend... possibly

the

1 ASUS ROG GL552VW-DH74 15-Inch Gaming Laptop, Discrete GPU GeForce GTX 960M 4GB VRAM, 16GB DDR4, 1TB, 128GB SSD (ROG Metallic)

2 Dell Inspiron i7559-5012GRY 15.6 Inch Touchscreen Laptop (6th Generation Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 8 GB SSD) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M, Microsoft Signature Edition

3 Alienware AW17R3-1675SLV 17.3-Inch FHD Laptop (6th Generation Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD,NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M, Windows 10 Home), Silver

The Alienware is easily the best, same CPU as the others but comes equipped with the 970M. What it's missing is an SSD, which you can add later for a faster start/faster loading times. I would go with the cheapest option though, all of them are good in there own rights, and you don't necessarily need a 970m for GTA V, a 960m will perform great.

Does the Alienware have room for multiple 2.5 inch sata drive to be installed internally? Do you know if it does if you can swap one of them for a disk drive down the road like so older workstations?

$400 extra for 8GB of RAM instead of 16 and no SSD is not worth it, even if it's equipped with GTX 970M instead of 960M. With that extra price, it should've been equipped with GTX 980M instead imo, so my vote goes to ASUS. It's unfortunate that Dell Inspiron is so expensive in your country. It is priced at $799 at Amazon if I'm not mistaken.

That is for a slightly different model, the one I am looking at is actually $948.89 on amazon, which is strange it seems because so far looking at there specs so far they don't seem that much better.
