I urgently need to replace my old laptop but I can't decide on which laptop to buy

These two laptops are in my pricerange, both are good, but i cant make up my mind.
What I am looking for is a reliable laptop, it doesnt need to be portable but I do want it to be durable.
Additionally, it would be used for image editing and gaming.

So which laptop should I pick, and why should I pick the one over the other?

Option 1 is customizable, if I end up buying this one, it would be with an SSD Drive.
Is there anything else I should consider upgrading, without going too much over my target price?

Option 2 is the Lenovo Y510P. Specifically, this one.

I had a Lenovo Z500 touch a few months ago, it broke down in less than a month and I had my money returned.
Not only did it break down in less than a month, on day 1 I had to reinstall it due to blue screen errors related to the "Optimus" graphics card switching system, something that I had to do again after 1 week since they errors returned.
While the customer support was helpful in the end (technical support didn't even bother troubleshooting they outright told me to get a replacement laptop), it did take me a week and half a dozen telephone calls to them. It has made me wary of Lenovo, even though I had heard much good about them.
