If you want a laptop faster than the one you aleady have, you need to spend close to $1,000. Not worth it at all for anything slower even if it's a bit faster than the existing laptop. Sell the laptop you have now, put that money in with the $650 and get a faster one.

The nVidia 820 video card in the MSI laptop is almost exactly the same speed at the AMD 7640g in yours. You are just going to spend money to re-buy the same thing you have now.

If you want a faster computer, spend the $650 and build a desktop, will be a lot faster than a laptop for the same price.

Or look for a used laptop in your area for the price, $500 will get you a pretty good gaming laptop that's a couple of years old. Just make sure you test it well for any...

The $500-650 bracket is still basically exactly what you currently have, so unless you want a modestly better A8, you aren't going to get much of a performance jump without getting into I would guess around the $800 bracket.

Just make sure you test it well for any issues, run 3DMark on it and do a disk check for errors. Craigslist often has gaming laptops for sale, people spend a ton of money on themt then realize they spend too much and need to pay bills or they are upgrading to a new gaming system every few years.
