help needed in buying a new gaming laptop

[mitcje98]

I am buying a new 15" gaming laptop (due to my mobile lifestyle) and have come across two builds from avadirect that I really like but I don't know which would be better or the differences in the body styles. The two body styles are P150sm-a and the P750ZM specs posted below. however I was hoping that there is some ways to cut down on the price between $200-$300 with out cutting into the laptops ability to run games too much.

P150SM-A - Full HD LED Matte PCIe x16 MXM-III Discrete Graphics / i7-4810MQ HD Graphics 4600 / Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) RAM / 256GB 550/500 mb/s mSATA/ 1TB SSHD (hybrid HHD) / blue ray/cd/dvd drive / GTX 980M 8G / Windows 7 Professional / Total $2094

p750ZM - Full HD IPS LED Matte, MXM III Graphics / i5-4670K HD Graphics 4600 / Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) RAM / 256GB 550/460 mb/s mSATA/ 1TB SSHD (hybrid HHD) / no optical drive / GTX 980M 8G / Windows 7 Professional / Total $2109

One way you could lower the price is to lower the size of the sshd if you don't need that much space. also you could downgrade the cpu of the first one to an i5 - 4200m unless you plan of playing cpu intensive titles. You could also loose the blue ray drive of the first. Also its a bit risky to put a desktop cpu in a laptop as it may cause heating issues.
