I haven't followed recent laptops much so I don't have any specific models, but for your budget, an A8 or ideally A10 AMD apu will likely be your best bang for the buck.

They do reasonably well in gaming, and are probably as good as you'll get at 600ish (unless you find a lucky deal).

I think at that price point you're going to have to turn graphics down pretty low on some of those games. Not saying its not possible, just depends on what quality you're looking for.

Here is another option.. It is a refurb, but has upgraded specs in almost every category (Plus I have a preference for the Asus brand).
