Apparently on some benchmark websites it also states that A8-5557M > i5-3337U and the A8-4555M is the worst of the three. Also that the last laptop here (Acer V5) has the best graphics card of these three. Is this all true? Which is the best of these three?

Acer V5 will be great for gaming.

People said that the Acer V5 overheats and goes to 90 degrees on Idle and 110 on gaming. How can I prevent over-heating? This pretty much seems to be the only issue it has.

90 degrees on Idle is not normal.
Idle temp should be between 50-60 degrees.
While at full load it should not exceed 100 degrees.

I can only find one review on this laptop which state the problem you mentioned.
How about getting the HP instead?
