I would say the first one.

First off, the Dell XPS has a backlit keyboard (huge bonus).

Secondly, it has an NVIDIA Geforce GT555m graphics card (the same as in my alienware), and it runs games great. The radeon 6770 is weaker in comparison.

Although unless you are video editing or running emulators, the processor you have chosen is completely unnecessary. Try downsizing to the 2670 (2.2GHz), because that will save a lot of money. You won't see a huge difference in performance unless, you're editing stuff or playing CPU intensive games.
