Prices have gone up alot on pc's as we all know, just recently i found out that the laptop i was looking at had risen by 100$ if anyone have a good gaming laptop for a cheap price (500$ - 700$) doesn't have to be anything fancy just to run a few games... such as 'Farming simulator 17' 'Gold Mine: The Game' 'Farmers Dynasty', and finally 'Pure Farmer 2018' if its possible and a few more not very high end games. Please reply if you have any, I might just resort to ebay to get cheap. thank you <3

Hello thank you very much for your feed back. The laptop i had in mind was a Lenovo Legion Y520 with a GTX 1080Ti 8gb of ram and 1TB of storage. This use to be for about 800$ but the prices have went up about 100$ like i said, but thanks again ill put some thought into some MSI stuff.

At that price, I might recommend getting a used last-gen (albeit high end) laptop.

 

If it must be new, I recommend the Acer Nitro 5 (Available from Amazon).

 

EDIT: 1) I know this at the top of your price range, but I still recommend it. 2) Remember to read my signature.

It's a 1050ti in the Lenovo Y520. A 1080ti by itself would cost more than your budget allows.

If you are thinking about the Lenovo Y520, be aware of its battery capacity. It's on the lower side of things and may be a problem if you're not planning on being within reach of an outlet most of the time you use your laptop.

Avoid MSI GL and GP series, mediocre build quality and cooling.

It's a 1050TI. If you don't mind the OKish display and mediocre battery life then go for it, good build quality and cooling. Don't buy laptop by brand, every brand has good and bad models, buy model not brand.

Just take note that it has mediocre CPU cooling which requires undervolting and possibly repaste.
