Is the preformance increase worth the extra cost?

Hey guys, I have these 2 laptops that I'm looking to buy, and I was wondering if the preformance increase is actually worth the price increase.

Here is the Toshiba ($969.99)

It has a 4th generation processor and 16GB RAM, which is very nice, and It is also packed with an Nvidia 740M.

Here is the Asus ($1275.99)

It has a 3rd generation processor and 12GB RAM, with an older but more powerful Nvidia 660M.

I am kind of worried about the lower ram, older graphics card and older processor, but are these things to really worry about? Or are these real things that I should be concerened with? Which one would you buy?

This laptop may also be an option for me, but I'm not sure if it is worth the extra $530 from the toshiba.

Asus ($1499.99)

Very nice, but does not have a 1080p screen like the other 2.


Thank you!

sorry about that, I knew I forgot something, it will be used for some heavy games, like Black Ops 2 and Battlefield 3.
