Hey guys I have a budget of Rs 40K (645 $) to spend on a new laptop..

My requirements are :
-Battery not important
-Good GPU for online gaming -Dota 2, CS-Go. CS-Source,Battlefield 2.
Battlefield 3

I have shortlisted 2 laptops :

Asus S56CM-XO177H Ultrabook
-Core i3 (3rd Gen) 3217U
-4GB RAM
-24GB SSD and 500GB HDD
-Windows 8
-15.6 screen
--2GB Nvidia GT635m

2-Asus X550LC-XX039D

-Core i5 (4th gen) 4200U (Pretty good)
-4GB RAM
-Free DOS (I have a copy of Win 8 so no worries)
-15.6 screen
- 2GB Nvidia GT720m (sad)

I am confused ..
One have a good GPU + SSD and good CPU
And the other have a "OK" GPU but a good CPU.
I mean i never seen any of my friends usng i5 (4th gen) so it will be good to show off coz I am getting it under my budget with an "OK" GPU.

I think both CPUs can handle my preferred games which are mostly CPU intensive(Dota 2, CS,LOL) easily.
So is it fine if I go with the 2nd laptop overlooking the 1st laptop's advantages like better GPU and SSD..

Depends,if you wanna play battlefield 3/4 you would prefer a better gpu,even with the first set up you should be able to run league of legends or cs go on high settings as they are pretty old games whereas if you get a better cpu and a worse gpu it will limit your fps due to games being more focused on gpu more than cpu so I'd say go with the first option,and that ssd is a nice addition.Now tell me,would you rather boast your e-peen or would you rather have a better gaming experience?
The answer is simple but ultimately the choice is yours
