Looking for a gaming laptop

[bvladut20]

Hi! I am looking for a laptop, especially for gaming and some movies.
The laptop must have a maximum price of 650$.
I'm from Romania so probably I won't find a little laptops that you recommend me.
From the laptop I want 8gb of ram, a good video card, an i5 processor (I don't think I need i7 because I don't make video editing) and at least 750GB HDD.
I found two laptops :
1. Lenovo IdeaPad Z500 without touch, i5 processor, nvidia gt 740m, 1T HDD, 8gb ram ddr3, 1366x768 15.6 inch matte screen.
2. Acer aspire V3-571G, i5 procesor, nvidia gt 640m, 750GB HDD, 4gb ram ddr3 (it isn't a problem because I can buy an additional 4gb ram), 1920x1080p 15.6 inch matte screen.
-they have the same price

Which would you recommend? And if you have a better recommendation, then don't hesitate!

I'm waiting for your opinions!

I would get the first one. Sure, it has a lower quality screen, but you can always plug a monitor in later. It has a better graphics card(this is significant because you can not upgrade this later on.).

Thanks for your reply! I will probably choose this laptop... But I don't have money to buy a monitor along with the laptop, so I must be sure about the quality of the screen. If you have some experience with 768p screens, then will hd or full hd movies look decent? And will the games look good and the colours be vivid? I looked on my friend's 768p glossy screen laptop on some youtube hd and full hd videos, and I thought that I was looking on my 480x800 phone screen...

I am busy using a 1366x768 right now with no problems. It really depends on the screen. Even if it was washed out I would still rather get that as there is at least a possibility of upgrading at a later stage that way.

And HD videos do look good on this screen, but 1080p vids do not display at full resolution.(obviously)
