This is the one you should look out for Asus K Series K53SC-SX096D, just add an extra 2GB ram for 600-700 bucks.

X53TA: AMD A6 3400 quad core in X53TA with HD6650 [6720M in crossfire with onboard A6 GPU]..

K53SC: i3 2nd gen, GT520MX

which one has more powerful GPU?

Nvidia GT520MX is rather weak compared to the ATI 6650/6720M.

Read here: notebookcheck.net

And here: notebookcheck.net

If you don't trust ASUS, there's a HP with better CPU. Costs 33k though.
HP Pavilion G6 series: flipkart.com

Another one from G6, but with AMD APU instead of Core i3: flipkart.com

Also remember that the AMD APUs in this price range dont have the performance of an Intel Core i3.

Hope that helps.

Of course. You'll get much more than playable frame rate, around 40 or so. 6650/6720 is much powerful than 520MX.
