Looking for a new laptop around $600 USD

[roblov1]

Just as the title says, I'm trying to find a budget gaming laptop in the $600 range. If it was more money, I'd just build my own, but with the limited funds I'm trying to find one that has the best bang for the buck. Trying to play some simple online MMO's: League of Legends, WoW, etc. and whatever else is possible. I know not to expect much with such a limited budget, but if you have any good ideas on a laptop that's on sale or good for the priceerformance ratio the help would be much appreciated.

Laptop size doesn't matter.
Warranty of 1 year or better.
Doesn't matter what manufacturer as long as it works.
I3 or I5 CPU preferred.
Graphics card: best possible
Hard Drive: 500k or better


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Not bad, but it doesn't have a discrete graphics card. I've found an ACER with the same CPU and a discrete GPU below. Trying to see if there's anything better than:

Wow, it just went up by $60 in the span of 4 hours. What's with that?

Anyone else have any recommendations before I decide?
