Is there any gaming laptop out there for $600 or less? I'd like to be able to play Fallout 3/ New Vegas, and maybe the original Crysis, on at least medium. If it can be better that's great, being able to play Battlefield 3 would be awesome, but I realize $600 is a little on the cheap end for a gaming laptop. Other than gaming, I'd use it for some schoolwork and web browsing, but that's about it. Size does not matter as much, but I would rather bigger than smaller. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks!

I doubt you'll be able to find a great gaming laptop for $600, but this is the best I could find.

the G580 to the right is on sale. It has 3rd gen Ivy bridge i5 so it has Intel graphics 4000 which is probably the best you'll get at your price point. also 15.6" with 8gb 1600mhz ram.

Alright, thanks for the help. I'd be willing to go up to $700 or $800 for this laptop, but for that price I'd really need it to be a great bargain. Anyways, none of this is urgent so when the time comes for Black Friday deals to start popping up, if anyone spots a great deal within that price range I'd be happy to hear it. Also, I hear Total War: Rome 2 is coming out in 2013, and I'd just like to know if I should be able to play it on anything in my price range. I don't really care how low settings it'd be on, but just wondering.
