OK, the Asus is actually around $2,800, but I'm trying to keep my budget around $3,500. Since Juraj mentioned MSI, I decided to take a look at the MSI GT70. Wow, an i7-4900MQ at 3.8 GHz, with a GTX 880M that has 8 GB of GDDR5, with 32GB of DDR3L at 1600 ram for $2,800. I think I've just changed my mind. I'd like a big GPU for Vray-RT work.
