budget gaming laptop

Hi guys! I want a new gaming laptop. My parents won't let me get a really expensive one like the blade 15, so please help me out on choosing a gaming laptop! The 'requirements' are that it can run most games (not expecting things like crysis or so, maybe overwatch, CS:GO, etc) in a decent fraps, cheap (under 1000$, lower the better, maybe 500$ if u can), and one that keeps my hand cool. Thanks!

That one overheats and is built from cheap plastic. Not worth it.

The top lid folds like cardboard and the LCD screen is likely to break.

If you want cheap, Dell 7559 is the lowest I'd go. It's 800$ for the base model. If you want a better machine for more money - Lenovo Y700 or Asus G552VW

The MB Pro 15 is CAPABLE of gaming but the GPU inside is akin to a 940MX

Only reason I did this is because I want people who know about hardware, not biased, and from people who might have used it before and wants to recommend it. I of course found some laptops from googling, but I wasn't satisfied with the results, and I also wanted to compare people's opinions to others.
