If you see lines appear on the lcd, it could mean that the LCD cable is loose, or it could mean that the video card is getting hot. It could mean other things also, like a bad LCD monitor, the bezel is latched on too tight, bending the bottom of the lcd, etc.

Gaming wise, the gtx 960m is somewhat slower than a desktop gtx 950. But the 960m should be enough to play games on high settings. Here are some benchmarks to compare the two. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-960M.138006.0.html (960m)...

A single m290x is above a gtx960m so two of them would be much better.

heres a nice looking system that seems to fit your criteria https://www.amazon.com/HP-Notebook-15-ay011nr-15-6-Inch-Processor/dp/B01CGGOZOM

thats actually not an easy choice. For games the Acer is better because of its gpu, but it also only has a dual core cpu, albeit with hyperthreading. But then again, if your gaming with your laptop, i would suggest the Acer.

You should search for the acer aspire e15 on amazon. you could get one for $550-600 and they have gtx 940m gpus which should run black ops 2 with good performance.

yes, your laptop will be able to run gta v. you could get an awesome framerate in 720p with med-high settings or opt for a lower framerate with low-med settings at 1080p. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-940M.138027.0.html

well, if you aren't getting any LED indication when you plug the laptop in, then it could mean a fried motherboard, but it could be a few other things also. You could try and unplugging the battery from the laptop to see if you could get a blinking white light by the charging port (battery). And...

you could either uninstall/re-install the driver too see if that helps. If not, you could always try re-seating the keyboard connector on the motherboard. If that doesnt help, then you may need a new keyboard.

Even though the laptop featuring the GT 820m is as entry level as you can get, it should still play CS:GO in 720p with medium settings with a good frame-rate. source: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-820M.108477.0.html

Well, a blinking white light near the charging port can usually mean that either the battery isn't connected properly, or the battery is defective.

well an i5 (or i7) cpu is what most gamers go for when building/purchasing a gaming pc. That doesn't automatically mean that CS:GO needs one. They're more for the demanding titles out there.

All 3 of them have intergrated graphics, so gaming performance will be somewhat low, but they should all perform well in other tasks.

The laptop you're looking at from best buy will run DOTA on low/med setting in 720p decently enough {30-40 fps}. But it wouldn't run current gen games fluently enough to enjoy. HD 4400 Benchmarks {the graphics card inside of the Lenovo G50-}...

that laptop could run games like the witcher 3 and AC:U in 720p on medium settings at around 40 fps. But you're going to want to upgrade your system memory to atleast 8GB of RAM.
