That's tough.

If I were playing any games on it, I'd pick the gateway. ATI cards are badass for gaming.

If I didn't play that many games and didn't care, I'd go for the acer. the i3 in my opinion would be a little snappier based on the facts you provided. But the intel gpus, suck some serious testis.
