The Alienware is a bit more expensive, but I've had a good year at work so I'm looking to treat myself. Thoughts appreciated

Thanks.

Wait for the 970/980 announcements this week before doing anything.

Check out the review of the v2 here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Aorus-X7-v2-Notebook-Review-Update.122059.0.html

Problems I see with this laptop are with temperature and an inconsistent build quality.

Thanks, I may just do that
Correct me if I'm wrong though, but am I correct in thinking that despite the Alienware I have mentioned being over a year old now it is still one of the best gaming laptops available unless you look to spend £2,500+ on a custom GTX 880m SLI with a newer CPU?
