The right GPU and CPU combo ?

Hello, I'm having a tough time in deciding what laptop to get. It will be mostly used for multimedia and some gaming (DOTA 2 mainly and maybe BF3). These are the 2 options that I have available:
i5 3337u + GT 740m
i7 3612qm + GT 720m

Both will have 4gb ram, but the one with 720m will be on 900p and the 740m on 768p resolution.

I am aware that most of the time it's the gpu that makes the most difference but I'm worried about that little underclocked dual core. So does it make more sense to get a beastly cpu and a low end card or a pretty weak cpu with a mid range card ?
