I'm not really very knowledgeable about computer hardware, but I did buy a family member a laptop for gaming and it had a great price and can play most games, even GTA V on lower settings. It was new and a "Lenovo B50 15.6" Gaming Laptop AMD A8-6410 Quad Core 2.4GHz Turbo 4GB RAM, 1TB" and got it on ebay for $365. Obviously that's not the best for $500, you should be able to get one even better for $500. I was very impressed with that one for the price though. I did upgrade the RAM in it also.

A $500 USD gaming laptop doesn't exist.

 

You might find one capable of doing light gaming, however that doesn't mean it's meant to game on.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.
