Not really. The CPU is an ultra low voltage processor, and it's pretty weak. Also the main thing you need for gaming is a dedicated Graphics card. And this laptop doesn't have it. So you must find something with a real GPU.
For that budget, look for something like - HD 7670m, Hd 8750m, GT 730, GT 720 or GT 740.
