Right now I am looking at two y510p's for gaming, I was wondering what the difference is.

a) i7 4700MQ with GT 755m SLi 1029$
b)i5 4200M with GT 755m SLi 899$
I will be playing games like DayZ, Skyrim, PayDay 2, and Runescape. I was wondering what would be better.( I dont want to spend the extra 129$ unless it is totally worth it)

Well the i7 is stronger in every way and has twice as many cores (4 vs 2) so it's really not contest. I would spend the extra $129 and get the i7. It's not worth it in the desktop setting, but it is in laptops.
