Hi Guys,

I am planning to buy a new laptop and I am choosing between these two combination of GPU and CPU. The i5 with GT 720m is $30 cheaper than the i3 with GT 740m. I don't mind the price because they both met my budget range. I would just like to ask if what combination will perform well in terms of gaming? THanks in advance.
 
higher graphics is normally better, the I3 4000 and the I5 4200 aren't too different really, the I5 has hyperthreading but is slightly slower in frequency? but either way there won't be much difference. go for the 740M

My purpose for the laptop is not mainly for gaming. I will use the laptop for web designing, coding, programming and playing games. The games I love to play are WARFACE, Battlefield 4 and NBA 2k14. The main purpose of the laptop will be more on work, but I want to have a good gaming experience so I choose a laptop that performs well when playing games.
