XPS L502x Vs ASUS N55sf-s1209v vs pavilion dv6-6165tx?

I'm interested in buying a laptop around 60k ish rupees so i have come across these 3 models which are available in India right now. All the 3 models have the same processor inter core i7 2670QM but differ a bit in other features i will list below few of the important specs i'm interested in.
I live in Bangalore and wanted to know where i can buy these laptops the cheapest with these specs.

DELL XPS 15 L502x - 4GB RAM, 1080p R+BGLED, 2GB DDR3 Nvidia Geforce GT 540M, 750GB 7500RPM.
I can't find the RBG LED screen in customizable options now.. don't know why. But after choosing it would cost around 66k Rs my guess. if anyone knows a better price pls help me.

ASUS N55sf-s1209v - 8GB RAM, FHD 1080p, 2GB DDR3 Nvidia Geforce GT 555M, 750GB 7500RPM.
I don't know how much this costs but should be around 65k my guess.

Pavilion dv6 6165tx - 4GB RAM, HD LED 768p, 2GB DDR5 Radeon 6770m, 750GB 5600RPM.
This costs 59k at HP store and other electronics shops.

I want a laptop for casual gaming yet i play some demanding games like Skyrim, COD, Crysis, NFS.. that's why i wanted a good graphic card and processor. Also use the laptop for media entertainment (movies,music) and net surfing. Rarely, i do need it for working with different softwares in the future that's why i'm choosing the best specs i could get in my budget of around 65k Rs.

My Priority would be - 1) ASUS / DELL ( dell with R+BGLED only else no )
2) HP ( has good gpu and also comparatively cheap )

I already have a HP dv2 laptop and ati radeon gpu so i'm interested in trying out the other brands and nvidia.

But i'm still confused in choosing one in these 3 laptops.. so pls need proper help. Also someone could help me with the places where i can buy these laptops in bangalore at good prices.

Is it better to buy off from HP shop or DELL store or ASUS (what ever shop it has ) or to get from Laptop Dealers who have all brands with them ??

Also how reliable is the ASUS and the services provided by them in India. Since its not heard much many ppl don't know abt ASUS and so is the reason they ask me to prefer either HP or DELL as they have good after sale services all over.

My last thing is that i wanted to buy the better laptop in these with respect to its price. that means i'm looking for a best buy nothing more ...

Guys i'm in bangalore and deciding on to buy the asus n55sf here.
Anyone knows a good dealer who can sell me the laptop for 65k or less or anywhere close to it ?? Pls help ....

If Full HD is a requirement go for n55sf, else the HP is 10k cheaper.Both have similar gpu s.All the games u mentioned I am running on my ASUS K53sv with 2670QM and GT540M gpu at high settings even though 540M is a lower gpu compared to 555M or 6770M.I would suggest not buying Dell XPS as its price is higher compared to specs....

Go for N55sf

Illum bought it for 63K in Hyderabad
U can check this thread - *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/laptops-netbooks-tablets/149834-need-gaming-laptop-under-65000k.html

The final price i was offered for HP was 59k and for DELL 66k....
I finally bought the n55sf for a price of 63k + 3k(vat) in bangalore for a total for 66k. I couldn't bargain coz the shopkeeper said there are almost no chances of selling me for 65k or less.. so atlast accepted the 66k deal. What more !! i got an asus laptop bag,mouse and external subwoofer speaker free with it.
Looking at that i can say it's quite good deal if not better than or close to Illum's 63k.Btw the taxes in bangalore are more than hyderabad so that's also one reason...

Congratz

 

[Illum]

congratz but all those you got are part of the package. (the bag is nice use it)

The mouse is pretty good and no mouse acceleration so good for gaming.

the subwoofer, man the subwoofer.

I dont use it much but when i do and listen to dubstep its amazing. (mind you not as good as a denon or the full size bang and olufsen speakers but its quite good)

Pretty good deal.
