Need help finding $500~ laptop for light gaming and school

[tyler14]

I'm looking for a laptop in around $500, I would like to be able to run League and CSGO smoothly, And trust me I know buying a desktop gives more power for cheaper but I need the laptop for school. I also really only play league and CS which are both fairly easy to run. I was going to buy the
Acer Laptop Aspire E5-573G-59C3 Intel Core i5 5200U (2.20GHz) 8GB Memory 1TB HDD 8GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce 940M 15.6" Windows 8.1 for $470 but the price rose up to $530 - $550. So I would like to know what Laptops you have in mind or if the Acer E5-573G-59C3 is still the best bang for my buck.

Thanks a ton!

I would say that the acer is very good for the price you are paying. These are the laptops that I would recommend for this price range. You could look at barebone laptops if you want a more understated look.
