Hello i was wondering if you guys could help me buy the cheapest laptop with specs able to play

CS:GO high settings
Skyrim if possible
Half life 2 episodes 1&2 high settings
Far cry 1-3 medium to high settings

It doesnt matter if refurbished

If you do not mind spending just a little bit over $550, you can buy a refurbished Dell Latitude 3540 with a 1920x1080 resolution screen and a Radeon HD 8850m graphics card for $561 with free shipping. It has a warranty until Nov 2015. I have this laptop and it is pretty decent for playing games, the Radeon HD 8850m is roughly equivalent to the nVidia GT 755m. Compared to current generation nVidia chips it is more powerful than the GT 840m but a bit less powerful than the GT 845m...

I have only played two games on this laptop though which are Mass Effect 3 and Star Trek Online.
