what do you mean by "gaming"? gaming as in playing games made around the mid 2000's? or playing modern games? IF you would want to play modern games, you would have to aleast expand your budget by 150+, and get an toshiba amd computer or, if you're luckly, a previous generation intel laptop with a nvidia card.

limiting yourself to a laptop that is worth ~$350 for casual comfortable gaming and you're going to be hard pressed. nonetheless are are some good ones:

http/www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J0TQ86C/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00J1MH1D2&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0RFQVNXTECKA8BBDYWFX - amd cpus have better intergrated graphics than intel so you should be good with that.

http/www.amazon.com/Hewlett-Packard-15--15-f009wm-Laptop/dp/B00L3EE1SO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1409699488&sr=1-1&keywords=hp+amd - this one has an amd e1 and a weaker card but it's more cheaper.

want refurbished?: http/www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00KVLX0GE/ref=sr_1_2_olp?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1409699488&sr=1-2&keywords=hp+amd&condition=used - this one is quite ok, as it has a quad core and a 7670M, so you could run some games perfectly in a low setting.

of course there are plently of other options if you look for refurbished or more older laptops on ebay or some other site but these are the ones i can find.
