Low Budget gaming laptop

Looking for a computer for my son for gaming and school. Just wondering if this one would be good for playing games like Minecraft, Arc Survival Evolve, Rocket League, Terreria, Sims.

For that money you can get something with an SSD and integrated graphics. Both make for a better laptop. I'd starth there.

For everything except ARK that laptop is OK. There is no low budget gaming laptop. There are cheaper laptops that will run games if you make them, a bit like moving across country in a VW Bettle. Sure you can stuff some chairs, your dog and a rug in one, but will you be happy driving 12 hours in one like that?

A "gaming" laptop really starts at about $800 US. If you can't go up that high, don't worry about the gaming part. nVidia 960M video card is what you are after for a system for ARK. A 950M may cut it, on low settings. But either is quite a bit over your budget, especially in Canadian currency.

Its not the ideal laptop for gaming. this is more of a normal usage laptop so I would not recommend playing games on it except for low end ones like minecraft or sims.
