He asked if B is worth the extra money so if it isn't he can save money! And there's no difference in performance between the two...The only difference is that with an AMD he won't get nVidia exclusive stuff like physX, which isn't required for gaming!

Read the question carefully next time...

Candidate A.) is fine. You just won't have any benefits that only an nVidia card can offer, other then that, you'll be able to run any game with the HD8730M just like with the GT650M.

Did some additional search, and found two better models within my budget!

Candidate A)
i5-3230M (2.6GHz)
4GB
AMD(ATI) / Radeon HD8730M

Candidate B)
i5-3230M (2.6GHz)
4GB DDR3
Nvidia GeForce GT650M (without the Optimus technology. I heard that the Optimus could save power, but could hinder your game performance.....)

I know Candidate B's VGA is better, but would Candidate A be enough for a smooth gameplay in, maybe, high-option? Candidate B is slightly more expensive, and if there is no noticeable difference between their game performance, I might go with the cheaper one. (If there IS a noticeable difference, well then, I probably will go with Candidate B.....)

@MuneebSalman1999
In game recording GPU is important, not CPU! CPU is important in editing!
And yes the 740M is far better then the 7650M.

And what did I say?
Didn't I say to go with the i3 if he isn't interested in editing?
Look carefully...

@attila-13
but if he has a core i5 he can make videos of latest games and do good editing but if he is not intrested in editing then he can have a i3 and save his money 😜. well is GT 740 better than HD 7650?

@reice
Go with the new one you found!
It's true that the i3 it's worse, but it's more then enough for gaming!
If you plan on doing some editing like photo/video stuff then go with the i5 version, but if not this is the perfect choice for up to medium/high gaming in 720p. 😀

Thanks so much for your advice and kind welcome!!!
Then, would I be able to play Skyrim via middle-option (or even high-option??) with Candidate A?

Oh, and one more question if you allow me......I just found a model with,

i3-3120M (2.5GHz)
4GB DDR3
Nvidia GT740M

Do you think it would show a better gaming performance than Candidate A? (The GPU is certainly better but CPU is worse......)

1. I'm not bossy. I'd just like that you check your facts before you post anything about GPU's.
2. B.) is a good choice, but A.) better. As I said new generation GPU doesn't mean that it's better.
3. Don't worry, ho won't be banned.

VGA: AMD(ATI) Radeon HD8570M
1366x768

Candidate C)
i5-4200U (1.6 GHz)

If possible, could you single out the product that would show better game performance?

@lukeunleashed
it does work just but intel gpu are not designed for gaming they are integrated into your cpu overtime this will slowly kill your cpu if you continue to play games on it
you really need amd or nvidia gpu to run the game smoothly and properly
