MSI GX60 vs Lenovo IdeaPad Y50

Hello guys :)

I wanna buy a new GAMING LAPTOP next Christmas but I don't know what should I pick :)

1- MSI GX60

GPU: AMD R9 M290X 2GB
CPU: AMD A10 5750M
RAM: 8GB DDR3

The GPU is SUPER GREAT :) but the CPU SUCKS :( which is worst than my old laptop who had i7 2670QM

2- Lenovo IdeaPad Y50

GPU: GTX 860M 2GB
CPU: i7 4710HQ
RAM: 8GB DDR3

The GPU is GREAT but not as the AMD R9 M290X and the CPU is SUPER GREAT compared to that of MSI GX60

- What's the difference between i7 4710HQ & i7 4700MQ and which is better? Because there are 2 versions of the Lenovo Y50 :)

--- NOTE --- I'm ALL into GAMING & GAMING & MORE GAMING so does the CPU matters in GAMING & GAMING & MORE GAMING because I heard that a powerful GPU with a weak CPU will not perform as powerful as it should and are these 2 laptops more powerful than the PS4/XBONE consoles and can they support 1366x768 because I know I can't get 60+ FPS with 1920x1080 so I lower the RES to 1366x768 :)

Does 1920x1080 means 1080p while 1366x768 means 720p? :)

Thank you :)
 
Solution
the processor on the GX60 bottlenecks the GPU, so the GPU quality is compromised to be as weak as the 860M
the gx series is known for bad build quality.
I'd get the y50
the processor on the y50 is a minor difference on 100mhz clock speed alongside whether or not it is integrated into the laptop motherboard.
