So I'm a novice to computer hardware and I was hoping somebody could help me try to find good balanced laptop.

The biggest problem I have is not knowing how to balance the GPU with a CPU (i.e. what is a good fit with an i5 or and AMD A6).

Secondly, for gaming what brand GPU would you recommend? I've heard the Intel HD Graphics cards are pretty terrible, is that true?

Thanks for all your help guys.

I guess you're looking something about gaming PCs, right?
In that case, a GPU that's too powerful won't deliver all its performance if the CPU doesn't make calculations fast enough. Ok, so let's say we take the most powerful GPU out there the R9 290x, you will never put it along a dual core nowadays simply because the bottleneck created by the CPU while gaming is unbearable.
Now, you have two GPU manufacturers out there, AMD (or ATI) and Nvidia, don't even consider Intel HD Graphics, eventhough it can handle some games pretty well, it won't even log on a game as Battlefield.
They release the stock GPU, then brands as MSI or Zotac release their own cooled system of the GPU in question.
I hope I helped somehow and sorry if anything isn't...
