I understand these aren't the best GPU's for gaming, but which one will do me better? The NVIDIA has 2GB memory and the AMD has 1GB memory.

Bad news is, when I do some checking with both GT 610 and HD 7550M, I've found out HD 7550M isn't as strong as I thought. Both graphic card would perform badly in some games like FC3, BF3, Crysis 2,3 ... even in lowest settings.

Therefore, I would recommend u AMD laptop at $500-600 which could bring better performance than these two i5 laptop. I admit these i5 laptop are strong in CPU but the GPU may let u down in struggling with low fps.

These laptop, I think, would provide enough graphic power to keep frame rates:

But weaker performance compared with HD 7550M. 2GB for entry-level GPU is advertising.

Have u look into AMD APU? A10-4600M + HD 7670M (A8-4500M + HD 7670M) would do better than single HD 7550M.
Is these laptop which pair with GT 610M/ HD 7550M has i3/i5 CPU?

For gaming, i5 is better paired with GT 640M/ GT 650M or HD 7730M. Both these two laptop has too weak GPU to pair with i5 processors.

Except u increase your budget, or under $600 I would recommend A8/A10 + 7670M laptop.

Im not asking for the best gaming laptop, I just want something that can run games at low/med quality while running at a good framerate. I'm probably going to be playing Counter Strike: GO a lot, so I would want this to run at low/med quality with 60 fps.
