Okay here's two that should be adequate:

$549 Lenovo IdeaPad Z585 4GB Memory 500GB HDD 15.6" Notebook:

or

HP Pavilion g6t-2000:

So, the Lenovo has crossfire graphics but a weaker CPU than the HP, but it costs $20 less.

If your willing to spend the extra 20, buy the HP notebook because it has an i3 which is better than the AMD CPU on the Lenovo. Especially for gaming

If your going to buy the HP (which I recommend) MAKE SURE when your customizing it, in the GRAPHICS CARD selection, select the RADEON HD 7670m. So you won't be using Intel HD 4000 and...

If you're looking for gaming, don't look for something with Intel HD graphics, that's terrible for gaming.

Look for one that uses like a nVidia GT 740 at least or something AMD equivalent.

But tell me your budget and what resolution you want to play on and I could probably find something for you

But those are my recommendations for what you want. The Radeon HD 7670 alone on the HP can play most recent games at low AT LEAST and some on Medium at 30 fps or more on 1366x768 or 1024x768 resolution.
