Re: Question about two different processors
With a laptop like that, it's more important to have an efficient dedicated graphics card than a powerful processor.
Only a few games really use the CPU much, preferring to offload the work to the GPU instead, but if you only have the integrated Intel HD graphics, than you probably won't be able to run many games, weather or not you care about how they look, since most games have minimum requirements you must meet before they can even start, or at least play without constantly stuttering.
So that said, you can probably get away with an AMD A8 or A10 processor too, along with the Intel chips that I suggested above, as long as it's a quad core.
For a graphics card you'll need to have an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 700, 800 or 900 series, or an AMD Radeon R7 or R9 series chip, with at least 2GB of DDR5 memory, 4GB if it's DDR3.
The DDR5 part is quite important, because DDR3 is much slower and you need more of it to get the same result, also try for
the 900 and R9 cards respectively over the older 700, 800 and R7 cards, since they should run cooler.
In terms of price, for a brand new current generation laptop, your probably looking at 900 to 1100 dollars American, maybe less if you find a limited time deal.
If you want an older laptop that's still pretty serviceable, then I'm guessing that it's gonna be somewhere between 600 and 800.
