Hi I hope I am not going against some forum regulations (first time poster & listener here)

But I was wondering if there is a decent gaming-laptop out there for under $650 CAD including tax. I should say that I am pretty knowledgeable in computers to know the difference between dedicated graphics vs. integrated, Ati vs. Nvidia, processor...blah blah blah. Besides that I know that my best option for my price range is that I can get a better PC for that price range. But I am not looking for a PC, but a portable laptop. The brand for the laptop does not matter (though I see Asus is fairly reasonable in price and in a bit of gaming)

I am looking for a gaming laptop, doesn't even have to be a gaming laptop, just needs to fit some base requirements to run some decent games. Something that has a video card ram of minimum 512mb, 1gb would be ideal. For processor it could be Amd or Intel, doesn't matter. But should be in the 2Ghz range, a bit under won't hurt.

The one I am currently thinking into consideration is this one atm: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6089226&CatId=17

This one also catches my eye it has a 1gb dedicated graphics card, but is a bit expensive, I can try going a bit over, only if I know for sure that it's the better option considering the ram is ddr2: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5753605&CatId=17

So if you guys can help me find a better option for a decent gaming laptop <$650 CAD including tax, that will be helpful.

If you know any coupons, refurbished deals, anything, let me know. Much thanks in advance.
