Gaming Laptop HELP

I already made a thread about this but I really want to buy the right laptop. Everyone seemed to be suggesting MSI laptop: https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16834154594?nm_mc=OTC-Froogle-Mobile&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-Mobile-_-Gaming+Laptops-_-MSI-_-34154594&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1a3KBRCYARIsABNRnxu-Zflf_Vvs_sb22UNK2LtgYmKVi6j6HCsk4cdyiVw2hcf727YFx5AaAjJLEALw_wcB
But it's expensive. Is there a cheaper gaming laptop I can get? I need one that has lots of memory. I would also be downloading lots of mods so I need as much space as possible. I'd also like the laptop to have good graphics and fast speed. Any suggestions would help. $600-750 is The price range I'm the most comfortable with.

    That's the cheapest your going to get with a gaming laptop capable of playing the game at high settings (with mods.)
    However i would Highly suggest spending the $10 extra and getting the newer version of that laptop

    The one I gave you which is the one you posted or the one chester posted ( which has newer hardware) would be your cheapest choices. Newegg also charges no tax outside CA, TN and NJ. These two laptops posted in this thread are the cheapest you can go. Two years ago you would have been paying $1200-$1500 for specs equal to the two laptops posted here. Gaming laptops have come way down in price. $700-800 is cheap for the specs they are giving you. My gaming laptop two years ago was around $1500. If you have a lower budget I suggest going desktop . You can hook it up to a TV and save buying a monitor

    @chesterbigbird Wow that one looks really nice. I'll just get that one. The other one I wanted was a bit too bulky but this one looks perfect. But I thought I'd try and see if there's one cheaper but I'm fine with the price of this. It will be worth it when I finally get it.

    It has good reviews. Just wonder how the heat is with the thinner laptop. MSI did flop on the all in one gaming pc.

    It should be fine. They excel at laptop cooling.
    It has a aluminum chassis which is good for cooling. And you can manually increase fan speed with a button. Wish my laptop had that LOL

    You were answered in another thread . If you keep bumping the threads and asking same question EA staff will see it as spam

    Yes they are expensive. You would need to up your budget https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154369&cm_re=gtx_1050_laptop-_-34-154-369-_-Product
