How's it going guys?

Created an account quickfast just to ask this question:

Between the

ACER Vnitro i7-4720 17"(R16,999.90) ($1423.28)
Specs:
Intel Core i7-4720HQ (2.6GHz), 43.942 cm (17.3 ") LED 1920 x 1080 IPS ComfyView, 8GB DDR3L, 1TB + 8GB SSHD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB, Gigabit Ethernet, WLAN 802.11ac, Bluetooth, Windows 8.1 64-bit

or the

ACER Vnitro i7-4720 17" Hybrid (R21,999.90) ($1841.89)
Specs:
HDD 16GB, 256SSD
Intel Core i7-4720HQ (6M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz), 16 GB DDR3L, 128 GB SSD + 2 TB SATAIII, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB, 43.942 cm (17.3 ") Full HD (1920x1080) LED, DVD-SM, 802.11b/g/n, Ethernet, Windows 8.1 64-bit

which one would be able to run Skyrim on Ultra w/o ENB and 2-4k textures best?

Thanks in advance
 
They are both the same laptop from what I can tell with different hard drives and possibly screens. If the first one is the only one with an IPS screen, I'd go with that. Better screen is better than a faster hard drive to me.
