    I would suggest the Clevo P750ZM (Sager NP9752) or the Clevo P650SE/SG (Sager NP8651/8652)...

    Buy the one that has the most powerful GPU. Look for the GTX 970M.

    For aesthetic purposes, I'd go with the alienware 15. The alienware line of laptops have always been my "go to" laptop.

    Ummm, all laptops are BGA now with the exception of first gen Haswell socketed CPU's and the Clevo laptop with desktop CPU. GPU there are still MXM options out there though.
