Looking for a gaming laptop

[Shadowdiamond201]

I’m looking for a gaming laptop that is around 300 - 500 dollars. I know this is a tight budget but it is all I can afford without having compliant from the rest of my family that I’m spending too much in gaming. I also know that a desktop costs less and is often more powerful. However, I have been moving around a lot lately and need something that is powerful enough to play games like CSGO, STARBOUND, TF2, DEFIANCE, WARFRAME, WARFACE, MINECRAFT, And GMOD without having to worry about terrible resolutions, and  stuttering. I know I’m asking something that maybe really difficult but if someone could find me a laptop that can plays most of the games I just mention at a resolution that doesn’t leave the game a mess of pixels on low - medium graphic settings or mess up the HUDS too badly I would greatly appreciate it. Please and thank you.

 

P.s. It doesn’t have to be a laptop specifically made for gaming it just need to be able to play the games I mentioned without too much hassle.

Could i ask why you want a laptop in to oppose to a desktop? I think you get could a better bang for your buck with a desktop around your price range. If you bump it up to around 500 you should be able to find a decent computer or if you want maybe even find a "Ok" computer on craigslist swap out some of the parts like the CPU and the Graphics card maybe add a new PSU and if your budget allows might as well get a new motherboard and get a newer CPU. You have a lot more options if you consider a desktop.

You'd be cutting it really close but you could go for a refurbished on ebay or newegg like this one 

Spoiler

You'd probably be happier with a 960M as opposed to a 950M if you want to play Warframe though. It's pretty graphics intensive for a laptop at 1080 for your budget range.

I mentioned in the post that I have been moving around a lot lately. If only people would read.

If u can stretch to $600 and live in USA, there's this (http://www.microcenter.com/product/487700/aspire_5_a515-51g-503e_156_laptop_computer_-_black). Acer Aspire 5 with i5-8250U (new 8th Gen Kaby Lake-R), 8GB DDR4, 15.6" 1080p and MX150 GPU.

 

The MX150 in it should be able to help running the games you mentioned comfortably at 1080p and the 4-cores in i5-8250U should help as well in some games (miles better than the previous 7th gen i5-7200U)
