Default Laptop Recommendation

I've been looking into buying a laptop for college next year and I'm not sure what I should get. I need something for under $900 that has a gpu (nothing fancy, just enough to play cod4 at decent settings). I am looking at these two laptops right now and I'm wondering what you guys think about them and if you have any other suggestions for me post em.

Thanks in advance

I don't like either. I had AMD and I don't mind them but they do run hot and clock for clock less than Intel? You wanna game? Nothing beats this for the money. Worth saving up $99? Link.

I was lookin at that Asus earlier, I forgot to add that to the list. That would be the best option so far.
I need a screen anywhere between 15.4" and 17". Preferably something in the 15's though
