typically what is going to be your bottlebeck for a gaming laptop?

I have been looking for a laptop in the $1100 range and am basically down to 2 of them

One has an i5 with a 965m

The other has an i7 with a 960m

Is it better to go with the better gpu or cpu?

Games I can think of right now that I would be playing are CoD, Assassins Creed, Watchmen, WoW, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch (when it comes). Shadows of Mordor.

I believe a few of them are fairly cpu intensive, but in the scheme of things can an i5 handle them.. also is the 965m worth the upgrade from the 960m to justify downgrading the cpu?
