Time for a new gaming laptop

My Dell Inspiron used for 5 years is too slow to play games and I need a new one. My friend recommends some laptops concerning the budget of $900. I tend to these two machine:

Asus Vivobook Pro N552VW

-- i7-6700HQ at 2.60GHz (turbo up to 3.5GHz) which is a 4-cores/8-threads processor with a single core performance.
-- RAM: 8GB
-- Hard disk drive : 1TB
-- GPU: GeForce GTX 960M

Acer Aspire VX5

-- i5-7300HQ
-- 8GB of DDR4 RAM and a GTX 1050 with 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM
-- 256GB M.2 SSD

In fact, I am not good at hardware, and I just start to play DOTA and some small games. Any suggestions would be preferred.
