So, I'm gonna buy a computer for studying and light gaming. Currently it's narrowed down to three computers. Price doesn't matter between these three, I just want the best specs of these - for gaming.
HP Envy 15-j118eo: 2.1 GHz AMD A8-5550M Quad Core, Dual AMD Radeon HD 8550G/8750M 2 GB, 8GB ram and 1 TB storage.
Acer Aspire V7-582PG 15,6" HD touch: Core i5-4200U, GeForce GTX850M 4GB, 12GB RAM and 500gb sshd storage.
Lenovo Z710 17.3" Full HD: Core i7-4702MQ, GeForce 840M, 8GB RAM and 1 TB sshd storage.

Would like to run games like LoL, WoW Wotlk/WoD, CoD-series and maybe even BF BC2 or BF3.
 
The acer aspire has the most up to date gpu. I'd go with that one, i believe it's a part of the new maxwell archetecture. Plus a 500gb hdd is fine for gaming. 12gb ram also awesome. and the i5 4200u is 2.6ghz only 2 cores but you're gaming so it doesn't matter. You need to remember when buying a laptop that you cannot upgrade it. So you want to look for the laptop with the best gpu/cpu everything else like the hdd can be upgraded later so if you wanna put in a 1tb or put in 16 gigs of ram you can, but you cannot replace the gpu/cpu. That said i stand by my decision of the acer aspire v7-582PG with the i5-4200U and GTX850M.
 
The Acer Aspire has the best mix of parts for gaming, with the best video card and a good enough CPU. This would be my top choice out of the three. The GPU/CPU mix is exactly what I'd expect from a modern, well built, entry-level gaming laptop.

The HP Envy is just sort of bad. Bad all around. Hopefully it's at least cheaper, or I can't imagine a reason to get it over either of the other two.

The Lenovo would be good for heavy multitasking (due to the CPU/GPU mix and screen size) but is too weak for serious gaming. I'm almost certain from the specs that it's meant for multitasking and productivity, but not gaming.
 
I would think the Acer, it being the only one with a graphics card that's even rated high enough to render games at some kind of playable frame rate. The Lenovo clearly has the best CPU.. its Passmark score is almost twice as high as the i5, but I'm gonna stick to my guns that the best one for your purposes would be the Acer. Not sure why you would need 12gb of RAM but hey.. it's what's there.

The HP is not even in the running here, IMHO.
