1) The i7-4910mq is theoretically 11% faster (3.9 vs 3.5Ghz Turbo) however with thermal throttling, the likelihood that this isn't for all cores, and the fact that most game bottlenecks are the GPU not CPU, in reality IT LIKELY WON'T MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE (except price).

2) Invest in the GPU if anything.

3) Do you want/need 120Hz? There are Pros and Cons but for a gaming laptop I still recommend 60Hz so you can easily cap at 60Hz (60FPS) which is plenty smooth for most gaming.
