I'd suggest getting the cheapest A8-based laptop you can find. You're likely going to get a 15.6" with 1366x768 resolution. Your games don't require much graphics power, but the A8-3500m's integrated video will keep you happy if you decide to play something more intensive on that resolution. Intel will be better for apps like Photoshop but you're probably looking to do more gaming, so go with an AMD APU.
