There's also a less powerful one with A8 5550M
Everything same except

I wanna use my laptop for gaming and later on can increase my RAM to 16GB too

Price are about 650$ for A10 one and about 575$ for the A8 one

Q1- Would these make a good system for gaming?
Q2- Is there any other alternative that you can think of within the same price range?

Please suggest asap

PS- I own a copy of win7 so that is no issue.

Thanks in advance

My brother bought a similar system for only $379.99. It had an A8. Only other difference is it only had 4Gb RAM, but he upgraded it to 8Gb 1866Mhz Corsair RAM, as APU systems benefit from high freq. RAM. This brought the price to $440. 16Gb will not see any increase performance in gaming. It didn't do bad with gaming, played Skyrim on medium just fine.
The model was an Asus K55N-DS81. Get it!
