A little overbudget but greatI need help finding a laptop in the $500~700 range with a great CPU and dedicated graphics card. Jun?
at your budget with 1gb dedicated.
Black Friday sales are pretty good for the Lenovos
For mainstream brands I would probably go with an Asus. The most important thing in laptops to me is build-quality and that's something that can't be rated over the internet so I suggest you spec out your laptop and then go to Fry's or Best Buy and just punch/slam on some keyboards and see which one within your spec/price range feels the best. It sucks to buy a machine just cause of the specs only to have it feel terrible especially if you're going to game on it. I'll be looking around.
