So, i need to decide between two notebooks in the same price range, one being an

-acer aspire v15 nitro black edition, with a CORE i5-4210H + NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 960M (2gb ddr 5)

The other one being an

-Asus K550JX with I7-4720HQ GTX 950M (2gb ddr3)

Both have the same 8gbs of RAM, and a 1TB HDD.

I'll be using it mainly for gaming, (recent titles such as, BO3, Fallout 4, Crysis 3 etc) and i was wondering which combination would give me the best results, and which one would last longer without becoming obsolete.

Thank you very much :)

I5 is fine for gaming (can you go for 970m some way?

Try to reach for a laptop with 970m (i wouldnt buy anything lower not worth it)
Or you can build a desktop pc that would play games better for the same price 😉
