Help!? Deciding between laptops

Tags:

Hello, my name is nuteguy. I'm new to tom's. I have two potential laptops to buy and I can't quite decide. The first is the MSI GT60 0NC-004US. The second is a customized Sager NP9150. I was considering getting a customized Origin EON15-S but I feel like it's a bit overpriced so I'm straying away from that one. Here are the specs.

MSI GT60 0NC-004US
