Im looking at this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834312829

I was hoping someone could help me out. I really like this laptop for the price point with the a10. I have a tax return coming in a few days and I'm looking to get something that can play stuff like eve, wow, lol at a respectable level. If i could squeeze in bf4 at low or med it would be nice but i have a budget anf its not much as far as laptops are concerned.

My question is if i were to go up an extra one or two hundred to a max of 7 could i get something that would largely outperform that Lenovo. A total max of 750 after shipping but it would have to be a significant deal.

I was originally planning to build another desktop for that price but i spend more time on the couch than at the desk, i listed some games but I'm on the Web much more than I'm gaming and being able to take it out on the rare occasion i go out of town is nice and plugging it into the tv would be cool

I know it's asking a lot but i just need to know if that Lenovo is the best deal or if i could do better with a little extra money. Whatever it is needs to be tough and not like the Dells or the sager I have had in the past that burnt out on me in less than a year

Edit- link fixed

Your link doesn't work unfortunately, could you fix it please. Basically you want a laptop with GTX740M or better.
Asus X550LB-NH52 $679 would be about the lowest price point I found on newegg that provides that. If you can live with the abysmal 1366x768 resolution, it should be ok and it should also be able to run the games you listed at decent settings on that resolution.

It is about twice as fast as the 8650G in the lenovo.

Here is a list of some benchmarks run with the GPU's on laptops. Might help you make a more informed decision.
