Is this a reasonable entry level gaming laptop?

I've been searching for an entry level laptop and almost settled on this one:

I figured I don't have time to game much anymore and this seemed like a good deal for just about everything else. Then I saw this one:

For another hundred bucks I get 8GB instead of 4 and a dedicated GPU.
Is this a better deal? Could I play most games at medium settings? Civ V, LOTR online, things like that. How about crysis, call of duty, that kind of more demanding game?

It is one of the best laptops under $600. You can go with it
