So I'm looking to buy a new gaming laptop. I've been looking around for a while now and have come across this: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Series-GT70-2OC-065US-17-3-Inch/dp/B00CU9GLUM/ref=psdc1_t1_B00EAS0U76_B00CU9GLUM for $1366. Do you guys think this is a good deal? Are there any other better gaming laptops for a similar or cheaper price? Should I buy this one? $1500 is just about the most I'm able to spend. Please don't try to convince me to buy a desktop instead.

You could probably find cheaper models at Wal-Marts or Best Buy that could do the same as that one, who knows you might find that same model at Best Buy for a cheaper price. That's the one problem with shopping on Amazon, a lot of their stuff can be overpriced. I wouldn't buy it unless it's the only laptop you can find that suits ya.

It's on Best Buy... for a higher price. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-17-3-laptop-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-black/9176078.p?id=1218994540044&skuId=9176078

It's not any better at wal-marts ...well since the one on Amazon is cheaper and it's what's your looking for get it before it sells out .

I plan to buy it in a few weeks, I just want to be sure this is the best possible one I can get for the price.

Best possible for the price? It never is. Best you can get? probably.

What gpu does it have? Amazon only tells cpu ram and hd

If you scroll down, it shows the details. NVIDIA Geforce GTX770M 3GB VRAM.
