What is the most powerful laptop my brother can get for $500?

It doesn't need to have a touchscreen, raw performance is priority in this case.

He will be playing some games on it, mainly because he doesn't have a desktop PC for now.

Budget is sorta tight, as he is in university right now. 

 

What is the best laptop he can get?

"Nope, said the engineer"

Probably not one with a dedicated GPU so gaming on it will be quite limited.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

No dedicated GPU for that price. Might aswell just buy a tablet or something.

You could get a much more powerful desktop for that price with dedicated graphics.

I'm that guy with the GPD Win.
