I'm trying to to buy laptop to play at least mid tier games if not higher and I'm not sure which of these three I should buy (my budget can't go higher than this). Is the difference between the GTX 950m (ASUS G551JX) and the 960m (Lenovo Y50) very stark? ASUS on the other hand has 16GB DDR3 while Lenovo only has 8GB.

Any advice about which one to buy would be appreciated. Thank you.

There is not a huge advantage to 8 GB of RAM vs 16 for gaming. If you go into video or photo editing, then 16 seems some uses.

GTX 960m is the better choice. It can handle some gaming at 1080p.
