The second is the way better option due to the better CPU and the bigger RAM. Yes, it's worth it, considering you can't upgrade the CPU in a laptop.

tell me, which advanteges i would have gaming wise? As far i can see max 15fps more. And that is not worth 200 bucks. Im only gaming most time. Not pragraming or editing stuff

15fps more is a lot. Additionally, you can play games longer before you need to replace that laptop. Again, no upgrade for CPU or GPU possible.
May not be worth it now, but for sure in a few years when the games get more demanding and you can still play them on the 7700HQ.

There isn't a great deal of difference but the i5 is an "avoid" and the i7 is reasonable. Neither is brilliant.

The 200 is worth it for the extra 8gb memory and hyperthreaded cpu if not now for the future. Remember that laptops are a rip-off.
