Also look at after sales service and stuff. You need that. Unless you are optimistic as hell.

I think this is the best combo you will get in that budget .

If you see the basic XPS 15 model of 48K it also has 525M so I can say that this is one of the best GPU you will get in this range !

Both are equal. Some games will run better on GT525 other will run good on 5650
