From the two Pavilion G6-2313AX . It's decent and can play those games.
You could also try:
Dell New Inspiron 15R Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph) - Dell: Flipkart.com
i5>AMD A10, but you need it primarily just for gaming right? Not any other processor intensive task? Pavilion G6-2313AX should do fine for you then.

Your primary preference is gaming. In core i5 model only the discrete gpu will be used while gaming. But in a10 models both onboard and discrete gpu will be used.(asymmetrical crossfire). And here is the proof how the games benefit from crossfire mode. The top left yellow number shows the fps. Left image is without crossfire (only7670) and right image is with crossfire (a8+7670). In ur case it is a10+7670. So I think it will benefit more.

But i have heard that crossfire is unstable for some games and causes stuttering ??

Bro I'm using this laptop since past 4 months and never felt any such problems. These issues were in the past when the drivers were immature. Now amd has rolled out many driver updates since then and now everything is fine. You'll hear a lot of things. It's better to ask people who have already experienced it.
