Help me choose between 2 laptops

[Rexepo]

I need a middle-class gaming laptop. I usually play games like CS:GO, Rust, H1Z1 and curently I'm not satisfied with my current laptop with GT 525m. Don't start saying buy desktop - I don't want that.
So I came up with 2 options:
Lenovo Z51-70 / 15.6"
8GB Ram
I5-5200u
AMD R9 M375 2Gb
1TB HDD
1920x1080 HD Display


Acer Aspire E5 571g
8GB Ram
I5-4210m
NVidia Geforce 940m
1TB HDD
1920x1080 HD Display

There is very little difference you could expect between the two laptops there. The Acer has a potentially faster CPU (Acer may nerf it some though for stability) but both are dual core with hyperthreading. The AMD GPU has a very minor advantage over the NVidia card as this comparison explains http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=2971&gid2=2802&compare=radeon-r9-m375-2gb-vs-geforce-940m-2gb I personally like Lenovo over Acer as brands but the Acer should run cooler (cooler is an advantage) since it's graphics card is not nearly as power hungry as the AMD R9 M275 (30W vs 75W).
Summary: Either should work about equally but I will recommend the use of a cooling pad while gaming or other intensive tasks to help prolong the life of the laptop (regardless of the one you choose).

Notebookcheck.net does a better job at ranking graphics cards than Game-debate. Notebookcheck.net rankings are based on both synthetic and actual game benchmarks rather than just simply looking at specs and making a guess like Game-Debate.
There are not many game benchmarks for the Radeon R9 M375, but they rank it as a little less powerful than the GT 930m. There is a central column that ranks the various GPUs in order of overall performance. Both the 930m and R8 M375 are ranked in the middle of "Class 2" with the 930m ranked slightly higher.

The link below has some game benchmarks for all three mentioned GPUs.
