Laptop with i3 with nvidia geforce gt740m vs i5 with gt635m, which one would you choose?

[rubyred13]

I want to buy a laptop for school and gaming (games like Skyrim or Assassins Creed 3, but I don't need the highest details). Which one should I choose - with Intel Core i3 2348M with nvidia geforce gt740m or Intel Core i5 3210M with gt635m? Which one would you choose?

the difference between the Core i3 and Core i5 will not be a major noticable upgrade. id get the core i3 with the GT740m.

I can run Skyrim in Ultra with the 635m in 720p, but without any mod.
The 740m is a bit better (about 25-30 % better...)
For the processor, i5 is better for gaming purposes, but for skyrim, I think i3 is enough.
sorry, bad English

I suggest getting the 740m computer, the 3210m is not much faster than i3.
