I can't decide between 2 15.6 inch Lenovo laptops which are around the same price. Both have 1080p IPS displays, 8GB of ram, 1TB 5400rpm hard drive and a 128GB ssd.
IdeaPad 700 has an i5-6300HQ and a desktop GTX 950 card with 2GB of vram. Most configurations have 950M with 4GB, but that's what it says on the package. I am not 100% sure if I can believe that and don't know whether to expect a desktop card or a notebook one, which can have either 2 gigs of DDR3 or GDDR5.
The other option is IdeaPad Y700 with AMD FX-8800P and R9 M3850 4GB. I know that this one is probably not as powerful, but it has a lot better build quality. Aluminium vs plastic and a backlit keyboard (although I am not crazy about the red color).
The selection in my country is really poor and the prices are jacked up so I can't afford anything better atm. I need it for some gaming. Nothing intense, mostly MMOs. Blade and Soul, Aion, Revelation Online, that kind of stuff. I'm gonna be stuck with it for at least a year or two so I don't wanna make a bad decision.
Thanks in advance! :)

And what if it was mislabeled and had a 2gb 950M with gddr3? Would it still be better enough to compensate for the build quality?
P.S. It's i5, not i7.

Ok, thanks for your answer. I had just updated my last comment clarifying it was an i5, not i7. I knew the Intel was better, I just don't know anything about AMD cards and wasn't sure how it would fare against (potential) 950M.
