If those are your two best options, go for laptop number two. 730m vs 740m is a particularly big difference, but it''s still better to have the best hardware you can afford. 740m/730m comparison:

The bigger difference appears to be in the CPUs. Laptop number one appears to have a better CPU:

However, in gaming terms, processing grunt isn't as important as graphics muscle. Laptop two, having a low voltage Haswell processor, would have superior battery life to laptop one.

I would go for laptop two. Slightly better graphics performance plus better battery life should you plan on using it as an educational aid or something similar.

I don't know how well it would play your games, as you haven't mentioned any titles- maybe you like Doom, or maybe you like Battlefield 4. Different games are demanding in different ways.

Good luck, buddy!

P.S. Writing in a block like you have makes your question hard to read. Please break it up in paragraphs in the future, as it will make things so much easier.
