Here is the specs for the model I am thinking about. The cheapest one is about $750.

Is $70 worth it for a slighty better video card. (750m gt vs 755m gt) and better display?

Would this be a good budget gaming laptop?

better display is almost always worth the dough.

Alright so how is Lenovo in terms of quality?

do their computers usually last a long time?

lenovo's consumer line is pretty average for quality. All of the consumer laptops are relatively similar. If you take care of your laptop, it'll usually last you a while. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot.

I have the lenovo y580. Its okay in terms of quality. Previously had a dell xps 15 (sandy bridge). I can say that build is generally the same (dell had a better keyboard and trackpad but inferior screen and battery). My lenovo I would say is overall better quality (battery hasn't died, skyrim runs at 75-80 degrees vs 98 on the dell and doesn't throttle, can update drivers) but its not macbook quality by any means.

Personally while I don't really like creaking lids and flimsy CD trays its not too much of a problem in my opinion compared to overheating, throttling, crappy screen and a broken battery/drivers. The dell looked prettier but was a big piece of crap (and my brother who bought the inspiron 15 SE is finding out the same).
