I'm trying to pick between the HP Pavilion dv6tqe for $975 with
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: 3rd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM Processor (2.3 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache)
Graphics card: NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 650M Graphics with 1GB GDDR5 memory [HDMI, VGA]
Memory: 8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
Hard drive: 1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
Primary battery: 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery - Up to 6.0 hours of battery life +++
Display: 15.6-inch diagonal Full HD Anti-glare LED-backlit Display (1920 x 1080)
Primary optical drive: Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner
Personalization: HP TrueVision HD Webcam
Networking: 802.11b/g/n WLAN
Keyboard: Backlit Keyboard

or a HP Pavilion dv7qte for $1,125
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: 3rd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM Processor (2.3 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache)
Graphics card: NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 650M Graphics with 2GB GDDR5 memory [HDMI, VGA]
Memory: 8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
Hard drive: 1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
Primary battery: 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery - Up to 5.75 hours of battery life +++
Display: 17.3-inch diagonal Full HD Anti-glare LED-backlit Display (1920 x 1080)
Primary optical drive: Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner
Personalization: HP TrueVision HD Webcam
Networking: 802.11b/g/n WLAN
Keyboard: Backlit Keyboard

Anything I should know about the two? I think I might just get the dv6tqe because it seems like I'm paying an extra $150 for a bigger screen. Are they decently powerful enough to play recent games on say medium?

The HP Pavilion dv7qte also has a 2GB graphics card while the dv6tqe has a 1GB. I am not well versed in NVidia graphics but if you are going to be using it primarily for gaming I would go with the dv7qte.
