Answer
change any one parameter and you have a choice, but if the purpose is gaming, you get what you need, and not what you want.
500GB HDD:

Take the Acer, replace the 2x2GB RAM with 2x4GB

46296+4122=50418, and sell off the 2 used sticks or maybe Flipkart will make a deal.
Acer would have 500GB HDD, 8GB RAM, i7-3610QM quad core 3rd gen, 2GB GT 630M, x768 display.
Make your budget 51990

Samsung NP350V5C-S08IN Laptop (3rd Gen i7-3630qm/ 8GB/ 1 TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph HD 7670M
x768 display
as a better brand.
Or, change the i7 to i5 and get better gaming in-budget:

Samsung NP370R5E-S05IN Notebook ( Intel Core i5-3230M/6 GB/1 TB HDD/ Win8/ 2 GB Graphics-AMD-8750M /15.6 Inch), and the Rs 42199 allows you to change a 2GB stick to a matching 4GB and stay under budget.
The HD 8750M is a better graphics card

But, for gaming you want the best graphics and LCD so an HD+ x900 display and GT 650M with the i5 and 6GB RAM is plenty and best gaming performance:

Mac or Pc? Buying a new laptop.?

I have a Dell right now. Its big and heavy and gave me a ton of problems! I really want a new laptop. I want a large memory and the best graphics card. I also want it to be a little smaller and much more lighter than my Dell. I plan on using it for college and taking it places with me. So what do you sugggest a mac or a pc like Dell? Pros and cons please and any experienced mac users that can offer pros and cons too. I've heard that pc is better for gaming. But do macs have good graphics cards?
Answer Ignore Computer Dr he appears to know squat about computers with that comment...
Seriously now...
Mac laptops are good. I don't like Apple, but I'll give them the credit owed. They make a decent laptop, at an almost resonable price, and the Customer Support is on the top 5 in the WORLD.
Their quality control is extremely good, although the occasional lemon does sneak through.
The primary disadvantages are the ability for user upgrades is almost non-existant and the cost for repairs at an Apple Authorised Facility is double (or more) for an identical repair on *any* other laptop.
Next, is the Software issue. Unless you're running Bootcamp, there is a lot of software out there that can NOT properly run on a Mac, since there are a fair number of companies that refuse to pay the $50k "fee" (per PROGRAM) that Apple charges for something like 50kb(?) of code to ensure the program runs properly with the Apple OS.
Do they have good Graphics cards? Yes and No... Some have excellent cards, other don't.
First things first...avoid Intel graphics chips of ANY kind... Intel makes decent CPUs, but their graphics solutions absolutely SUCK!
Next...once you have found the graphics details, look for the card. For nVidia, you'll likely see a 3 digit number with an M attached to it. For AMD, you'll see a 4 digit number, again, most likely with an M attached to it.
Regardless, the key is in the numbers. look to the second number (tens column for the nVidia and the hundreds column for the AMD). Under a 6, it is a card best used for Office Suites and (maybe) watching DVDs and surfing the web. If the number is a 6 or higher, it has a bit more power, and can be used for mid-level to high-end gaming.
Now, for the remaining stats. You'll want at a bare minimum, a dual core rated at 2.4GHz or higher. For a W7 machine, you'll want a minimum of 3Gb of RAM. For OSX, you'll want at least 2Gb, maybe more (don't know the system requirements, nor the software "footprint" on the system RAM for OSX).
Bare minimum for the HDD (avoid SSDs) is 250Gb. Partition the drive into a 100Gb section, which is for the OS and required System Level programs (i.e.: Security suite, etc). The second partition is for everything else (multiple smaller partitions, or one massive one, your choice. For College, I'd suggest a minimum of 750Gb HDD, and maybe creating a second 100Gb partition strictly for your Office program, and all your work.
Also, remember to spend on a good desk lock (to ensure it's still there), and a first class Security Suite. (While I've never used it, I've heard good things about VIPRE (first link below). I also recommend downloading and installing Malwarebytes (second link below). This one is an "on demand" scanner. Once a month, update it, and run it (should take under an hour for an average laptop).
Now, unless you're going to want to do photo, video, or
music editing on your laptop, and the extent of your gaming is the Sims or similar "low to moderage" demand games, a 460 and up, or an HD4650 and up should be fine.
Finally...depending on your wants and needs, you'll be replacing one back breaker for another. Laptops are universally lighter, and more portable than desktops, however, with laptops ranging from under 3 kilos to over 10 kilos. You literally receive what you need.
For example, one laptop that came out a few years back, could take games like Crysis and (just) beat it down, where most DESKTOPS would wimper in the corner like a whipped puppy. Problem is, the unit with everything required, plus the shoulder bag/back pack to carry it, came in at almost 13 kilos...that's over 27 POUNDS...the power brick was almost 2 kilos alone!
On the opposite end of the spectrum, there is one "laptop" that a former co-worker bought to use as a Day-Planner... The damned thing couldn't run WoW...and you can almost literally run WoW on a kitchen toaster!
If you're looking for an "uber" gaming machine, you're looking at a minimum 7 kilos when transporting it.
If you're looking for a net runner that can play some flash games (meaning not a Mac), you're looking at a minimum of 4 kilos when transporting it.
Good Luck!
