First a little background info:

I am looking for a cheap laptop in the $500 to $600 range

It will mainly be used for school with some light gaming like starcraft 2, diablo 3, skyrim maybe even some new games on low settings

The 2 laptops i have been looking at are the:

1. Acer Aspire V3-571G-6407 $499 at acer.com

http://store.acer.com/store/acerna/en_US/pd/productID.258312300

2. Acer Aspire v3-551-8469 $499 at acer.com $439 at amazon.com

http://store.acer.com/store/acerna/en_US/pd/productID.259041000/parentCategoryID.60084600/

I really need help deciding the 571 is a dual core but has a better graphics card......I think

and the 551 has a quad core but with a worse graphics card

Can someone please help?

Other laptop suggestions are also welcome

Thankyou

That looks really good better than what i picked out. Thanks.

Also is there anything particularly wrong with Acer, and I also heard the Amd a10 is good for gaming any suggestions on a laptop with that processor for around 500 to 600?

Acer isn't really the best quality, but they aren't a bad budget option. A10 is a bit faster than i5 but the 730m is a faster video option. With either cpu the bottleneck(when gaming) will be the video card and the 730m will be less of a bottleneck.
