I think I have the ROG here.

The display and build is very nice. However I have the 960m GPU.

Both machines should fair almost the same in game results. The i7 will have an edge for work on things like Visual Studio.

GP is nice and maybe upgrade to 16GB

If you play light game, GTX950M is enough. My friend also has a GP that the Steelseries keyboard is great I have to say. The performance is quiet the same between these two, yet I’d go for GP for the CPU and maybe upgrade to 16GB.
