Highly recommend MSI laptops.
as @zorrophreak said stay away from Dell or HP but HP aren't that bad comparing to Dell.
Other laptop brands I can recommend is ASUS, ACER (Currently having one), would suggest Lenovo too but their last scandal about putting adware on their products.
Never got ahold of Razer and Alienware laptops but from the testimonials I have read their good too.

I am actually looking at a lot of MSI's products right now. It's just hard to find one that is in my price range that would out-perform the Alienware 17 R3. I do love the body style and overall specs that MSI brings to the table. I am currently researching my options and, I will post my options soon! Thank you for the support and suggestion (:
