My apologies, I meant the G502VM. Both of them look pretty equal in build quality, it's just that the VM sacrifices RAM for a FAR better GPU, and 8GB is alright for most games. Though if you had the choice, I'd downgrade the processor on that to an i5 and upgrade to 16GB of RAM.
What is your budget? I could more than likely find a better one for the price, but out of these 5, I'd say the Strix strikes the nicest balance. Though if you can afford to, I'd swap out that processor for an i5 and upgrade it to 16GB of RAM, ideally. I picked the strix because it has a strong CPU, GPU, and also features an SSD.

you mean ASUS STRIX G502VM is the best shot?
what is the difference between ASUS STRIX G502VM and the GL503VD in terme of quality build and cooling ...
