Here's the laptops I'm considering getting. I'm thinking about maybe upgrading my storage and/or memory.

I think they're pretty similar. Actually, I think the first two are the same. I think the difference between the top two and the bottom is that the bottom one has an Intel i7 instead of an i5. So... $150 for the upgrade?

Also, is $65 worth the upgrade from 640GB 5400RPM 8MB Cache Buffer to 750GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer?

Im afraid all I can say is if you plan on gaming with the laptop an i7 is brilliant, just make sure you get some form of cooling system or it'll overheat rather quickly.
Otherwise an i5 should meet all your needs, and it'll still run most mid~low end games without a problem.
