If your looking to do good gaming like you say maybe you should be looking at a desktop pc rather than a laptop, and also 512mb might be a little dodgy as most games ask for that as a minimum now,
and your graphics card will take a chunk out of that.

Processor wise amd is better for gaming and intel is better for numbercrunching (btw only my personal opnion)

That laptop isnt going to be a great gamer id take wdowsings advice and go for a pc. If its specifically a laptop that you need though you can get some which are good for gaming but there really expensive

If you are sure its got to be a laptop then look at the following
Evesham - Voyager C720
http://www.evesham.com/PCs/Info.asp?e=A9EA721A-2514-4C3F-A448-F5E...
It has vey good reviews and the spec is very high for laptop, but personally I couldn't spend that sort of money on a laptop when I know what spec desktop the same money would buy.
There are plenty of choices now with very good specs from most makers.
