Dedicated grapgics is always the way to go if your interested in playing a game, however if the computer with the AMD if you can get a dedicated radeon card it will crossfire with the AMD intergrated graphics and will be much more powerful.

Personally I'd choose the i7 for it's rendering capabilities (if you were to be editing or doing YouTube stuff), but the A10 is still powerful as said above. Crossfire would make gaming a bit smoother.

The first is definitely better. The 840M and the i7 will walk all over the second.

Depends what it's Crossfired with. That Crossfired with say an 8750M (as is common) is still weaker than the 840M.
