I am driving either an International Prostar or a Freightliner Cascadia flatbed. The typical load is either Spools of copper wire from Southwire or MRAPs for the Military. All our trucks are Class 8 vehicles. My license is required to be Class A with Tanks, Doubles, Triples, Air Brakes, Combination, and the optional HAZMAT.

in europe you can get msi gaming laptops under other name like medion(aldi\hofer) and only audio is replaced but price is 200 less then msi.
this 200.- you could put in a higher end model of cpu or gpu but for arma 3 you will need both.
i dont think you need rugged case or anything in a today truck!
maybe on a 30 year old traktor.
but i would go lowest with gtx970m and look for min 2 to 3 year warranty.

this is just for example :

and here you can filter everything ya need or want:
