Hey man,

Here's what I found for your price range... (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834314566&cm_re=laptops-_-34-314-566-_-Product)

This is a very good laptop for the price and should be able to do everything you wanted and then some. Granted the GFX card does leave me wanting (Personally), it should be able to play all those games you mentioned. You may have to play with the settings a little, but they should run fine. Here's a link to the GFX card review so you can see for your self. (http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-840M.105681.0.html)

Tell me what you think. If you feel we can find something better, I'll help out with the search.
