Thank you

Would it be possible to raise your budget to $729?

That laptop will run games without any issue... Depending on the game that is.

No way bro, im on a tight budget

As far as performance goes, the amd is better multithreaded but about equal on single since it could turbo to make up for the architecture difference, a better igpu, more ram, and the lower res would help performance. You could set the other to a lower res but it wouldn't look as good upscaled. It does use more power though. The intel is higher res and has newer ac wireless.

So which one is better for light gaming? Do you know any other options for $400? Thank you

The amd is better performance, better igpu, more ram. I haven't really looked at laptops that low price.

Another question, will it be able to run Gta 5 on low settings?(800x600 resolution)

I think so but didn't see any benchmarks to be sure.
