Hey guys, so I'm relatively new to the pc gaming community and so far ive been playing on a laptop and i havent been able to play a few games ive wanted to.. Id like to play games such as planetside 2, dayz, and rust. It doesnt matter whether its a laptop or a desktop and i want it to be relatively close to the $400-$600 price range. Any tips for a computer i can get? thanks!

Lenovo Y510P is a good budget gaming laptop, it isn't very powerful but it isn't very expensive either

CPU: AMD FX-8120 | CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Contac 30 | Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 | Memory: Kingston 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 | Storage: WD 1TB | GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 | Case: Thermaltake Chaser MK-I | PSU: Thermaltake Black Widow 850W

At least save up to a grand so you can get high ultra settings.

the options from Lenovo have changed actually, the cheapest one is the Y40 http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/y40/

I have the y410p and get 30-60 fps in battlefeild three on high ultra settings and 45-60 on a modded to hell Skyrim. Lenovo has the new y series (y 40 and y50) check those out. :)

A grand will get you medium settings at 1080p 60fps.

i would rather have lower fps and higher graphics. Personal opinion 30 fps is playable and I like a pretty setting. :)

Constant 30 fps is playable. Inconsistent 30 fps with lag spikes and frame drops along with excessive screen tearing is not playable. Because that's what watchdogs is.
