I recently got my daughter a Toshiba with 8gb ram, 750gb hdd and an A6 6310 apu. It games decently for what it is. She really only plays L4D/2 TF2, Garry's Mod, and stuff like that on medium settings. It was about $549 at office max but I got it on sale for $449 plus a $50 MiR. Something with an AMD APU is probably the only option new for gaming in that price range, you could look for some used/refurbs too.

In that price range look for an AMD A6, A8 APU. 600$ for an A10 is a good deal if you can find it. The advantage of AMD's accelerated processing units is the integrated graphics card. They run games much better than any Intel at that price. Expect to be able to play games like The Sims, WOW, LOL without issues. Most other games will run at reduced graphics levels.

Option 2: Buy a PS4 for gaming and a cheap laptop for everyday stuff.
