Short answer:

Simply close the question for its own reasons. Close voting as dupe is much more work (for reviewers) and completely unnecessary if the question is clearly "close-valid".

I would save the duplicate- mark only for good questions that were asked before. As mentioned, closing as a dupe needs a lot of reviewers' time (that is: if you do it right).
