I would choose an SSD as the primary drive and the scorpio black as the secondary drive. You could also consider the Vortex IV 17" on the review section at a discounted price if size is not an issue.

The Vortex IV 15.6 doesn't support 2 SATA drives,not without losing the optical (DVD) drive anyway.
Your spec looks good,I wouldn't bother with the mSATA SSD drive though,but if you go ahead with it ask PCS if they can install the OS on it as it will improve boot times a few seconds and possibly load programs quicker if that's important to you.

CPU Core i7-4700MQ 4-Core 2.4GHz
GeForce GTX 780M

Game-Debate's View
High Settings - This system should be able to play Battlefield 4 smoothly at high settings.

Instead of the 15.6" AUO Matte 95% Gamut Widescreen (1920x1080) should i get the 7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4700MQ (2.70GHz) 6MB
Memory (RAM) any response will help
