MSI [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
or
Acer [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I know this Acer model is better than the MSI but is the price difference worth it?
The MSI used it $850 and this Acer used is $950
Please Help!!!
Will be used for gaming/school/skype/editing/rendering

Opinionated wrote I would say the Acer as it has higher clock speed and the 4GB card rather than the 2GB in the MSI.
Also get it cheaper here (Same spec): [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Or would it be better to get this used for $950??

That has the 2GB card again and just has some extra RAM, worse CPU and a SSD.
Get [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] one, upgrade the RAM if you really need it (Not needed) and buy a SSD.
The other one has 1 x HDD and 1 x SSD, i'm guessing it has the 1TB in the SATA port and using a PCI mini SSD. But it might have 2 spaces for 2.5s... not sure.
Either way still go for the eBay one and buy a secondary SSD to match the other one. From there you can wipe the mechanical 1TB and load Windows on the SSD (Just ask back here if you need help)
But if you were to wipe it make sure to take the product key from your original one using MGB, this way you'll still have genuine Windows.

Ok do I need to buy an extra SSD? Or is that only to match the 16gb ram? I'm not savy with the specs. Will it be fine as is? So better and faster with the eBay one?

This one [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] is a no because the SSD and extra RAM in it is not worth $400.
Get [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and you can buy one of these SSDs from eBay like [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] , it will be a easy install and just ask here if you need help. The extra RAM is not needed and if you find you are maxing out just add a extra stick.
Now i need to sleep... any more questions i'll answer tomorrow :coffee:
