Laptop for 5 boxing wow

[GS4Clagg]

Trying to pick out a laptop that would hold decent resolutions for the main with the backgrounds throttled back a bit. What sort of ram should I be looking for? 16? 24? 32? It seems on the premade (Alienware, Asus and MSI) laptops, the ram and the graphics card 965, 970, 980 are what makes the biggest difference in pricing.

I would like to get away as cheap as possible of course.

Thanks for any info

If the laptop is 1080p, 16GB of RAM should be enough (I 5-boxed on this machine at 12GB, though I did have occasional OOM warnings).

ASUS ROG G751JY-DB72

Found this one with 24g, i7 4720, 980m 4g, 1080p etc for $1897. Seems like a decent deal. Has a 30 day DOA guarantee.

What do you all think? The step down versions I've been looking at with 16gb ram and the 965 or 970 GPU has been right around $1499. This seems like a decent jump for the money.

Looks good to me, though I'm no laptop expert. I'd get the best graphics subsystem you can afford as it will extend the number of games/expansions you can play through before needing to drop graphics settings or upgrade laptops.
