They are very different computers. The ROG is better for gaming, and it will have much better compute power for professional software, but the HDD will really slow your system down for most tasks. If you can upgrade to an SSD yourself, I would go with the ROG considering you are into gaming.

It will have significantly worse battery life and it weighs about twice as much, but it still looks like a very nice computer. I would probably just stick with windows though. Putting a hackintosh and Windows on the same hard drive is a disaster waiting to happen. You would most likely have to boot OS X on an external drive or only run OS X. Windows will probably fit your needs best, so booting OS X on an external drive will be best if you really want to do a hack.
