Hey everyone, I'm planning on buying a new laptop for gaming/college use and I wanted to get your advice! I'm really aiming below $600, with a decent battery life and gaming performance being my main concerns. Here are the two that I found:

http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V5-552G-X852-15-6-Inch-Laptop/dp/B00FNPD1WG/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
And here is a comparison of their graphics cards:

Now, the graphics card on the first acer is undoubtedly better than the 8750 on the second one. However, the first acer has an Intel i5 CPU that clocks at a base of 1.7-2.7ghz, with a 3mb cache. The second acer has the quad core AMD with 2.5ghz and a 4mb cache. I was wondering, for the difference in CPU cache size create any noticeable difference in use? Which would you recommend? Or would you recommend something else entirely? As always, thanks guys!
