Hello people,

I'm thinking about getting a new notebook. Looking for something I can play a few games on like for example AvP2010, ARMA 2: DAYZ, CoD 2, SIMS3/4 CS:GO, Dead Island.

After some research, I came across Asus N76 Series N76VB 17.3", i7 3630QM, 8GB, NVIDIA GT740M, the Lenovo Y510p IdeaPad (59375363)15.6", i7 4700MQ, 8GB, NVIDIA GT755M, and Lenovo Y510p IdeaPad (59375359) 15.6", i7 4700MQ, 16GB, NVIDIA GT755M SLI.

By chance I have the oppertunity to get myself a brandnew Dell M6700 17.3" for I hope less than €400 with the following specs:
CPU: i7 (guess: 3740QM), 8GB ,Quadro K3000M, 2x 500GB 7200RPM

Now i'm not that into notebook gfx cards so I hope some of you can give me some advice on getting a nice (not top of the bill) notebook to play some games on.
The games I pointed earlier in this post are running pretty good on the M6700 which I have been testing, some on the highest and some on a little lower settings.

Will the difference between the gfx cards be big and noticeable or negligible? And will it be worth saving some more for a little more expensive notebook?

for Gaming the best is the SLI Y510p Lenovo among what you showed ...

True, but is the difference between them big?

If you are about to buy the Lenovo Y510P,
I'd suggest you first of all inform yourself about SLI pro's and con's,
Things like 'microstuttering' could become an annoying factor.
I'm not saying, that you shouldn't buy the Y510P, just inform yourself.
Surely it's one of the best machines you can get out there for the price.
