$600-$650 (shipping and stuff)

2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
Doesn't matter as long as it's not tiny

I don't really care about the settings as long it's not all low settings for every game I play.

7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
Photo/Video editing, hosting a small mc server, browsing, and that's about it.

8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
320GB+ But it's not a priority

US

14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I'm really just looking for a computer that can multitask good, have enough storage to last me a few years, can run games with good fps that I won't rage, It doesn't have to be High quality every game but I don't like Low settings for everything, and that's about it

Thanks for the help!

The first one seems good! It looks like it's only one core, does it matter doing what I do? Also, I don't need it right away and I can extend my budget to 800 if it's a huge difference in quality.
