Gaming laptop for $500?

[rhcpepper]

I know there are other threads like this one, but its so confusing especially because laptops are a out of my range of knowledge.
So yeah what I want is basically the best gaming laptop you can get for $500, I know with that price it won't be a beast or anything, but that's all my wallet can handle.
Other specifics like screen size, etc. I don't really care about.
Any suggestions are appreciated

Is it a more updated model or something? It looks like the GPU isn't as powerful. But then again if it is $700 vs $480... So do you think it is the best bang for the buck that's within my price range I could get as far as a gaming laptop would go?

So I found this: Acer Aspire V5-552G-X852. It looks like it has pretty awesome specs and its only $100 more than I was aiming for. Do you think its a good deal for $595? Really the only bad thing I could see was the lack of a backlit keyboard, which is kinda disappointing. I'm guessing I'm not gonna find one with every feature I want without paying an arm and a leg though.
