Hi,

Welcome to the forums :)

The HP has a better spec, the graphics card is more powerful for gaming, it also has a 120Hz screen and G-Sync but I'm guessing this is a TN screen, whereas the Lenovo is an IPS, so it depends on what you value and if a TN screen bothers you or not? A lot of gamers use the TN screens but I've personally always liked the IPS screens more as I don't play competitively, still on the whole the HP seems to me to be a better spec :)
 
Also if you do buy the HP consider getting an SSD for the main hard drive, that will greatly improve the PCs responsiveness :)

I've seen the 17" version of that HP for the same price and with a 2yr warranty, it's out of stock at the moment but worth considering?
