Processor/Ram vs Graphics Card?

RAM is very easy to upgrade. BTW, if these are custom builds, don't upgrade the memory directly from the manufacture. They charge insane amounts, and usually you can install it yourself for way less. Also, since these are laptops it would be a really good idea to get a cooling pad to put them on. Those are very powerful graphics chips and will put out a ton of heat when playing games.
Good for Winter, though.

My 2.5 GHz AMD duo core runs a hell of cooler than it did with TS2. I'd say GPU and RAM are the primary concerns so I'd be looking at the Asus because, as the other posters have saud, RAM is cheap and simple to add.
McCrea:
HDD speed will be the bottleneck. That is, the slowest component can make the rest irrelevant. 5400 rpm is not worthy.
Zii:
At the moment (pre-masses of expansion packs) 4GB RAM is more than enough - today I dropped down to 2GB to troubleshoot some BSODs and the difference is barely noticeable. Just in case you needed any more reason to get the ASUS. :)
Cerridwen:
Hrmm.... The ASUS is off Newegg. I hesitated with that one as I'm not familiar with the brand as I am with HP or Dell.
I've been told they are a great manufacturer of motherboards and would probably make a decent laptop.
Darn decisions!
