Dont bother to read the dutch words cause they are not importand.

Ofc i wanna have word on it etc but I also wanna play games on it during free time (like lotro and tf2)

What laptop should i choose?

I'd definitely go for the R580.
Nvidia GT 330M is a mid-range gfx card, and at that monitor resolution you should be able to play recent games on High/Medium settings. I had/will have that gfx card again in my laptop, and it was pretty decent.
Nvidia GT 310M is a low-range card, and will not be very good for gaming...
Personally I'd go for the 15,6" because of it's specs, even though the screen is smaller and ram is only ddr2.
But it has a better gfx card and processor.

and replace the HD. Only costs about 40 to 50 euro to replace it and you'll notice a difference between 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm. Next to that, you don't lose your warranty changing those, usually.

..and just to add to that the 17" can be too awkward to carry, doesn't fit in most bags (unless you splash out on one that it fits) and can get heavy when carrying long distances.
