Hi everyone. I have been on a search for a new PC laptop since my Early 2008 MacBook died. I am going to mainly use this computer for school work during the school year (music, google docs, microsoft office, youtube, Wikipedia etc) but will then be using my laptop mainly for gaming during the summer (GMod, Assassin's Creed 2, Civilization V, Left For Dead 2, PlanetSide 2 and SL). I really need something that can run these games fairly well and is still fast for everyday use. Also I would appreciate if it were better than my old Mac. My budget is about $500 and the following are laptops i've been considering:

Other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I am also debating whether to get and Intel (i3 or i5) or AMD (a6 or a8).
