Need help finding laptop for gaming

The highest I'm willing to pay is $600. So far I've found this:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+15.6%26%2334%3B+Laptop+-+4GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive+-+Matte+Light+Covellite+Hairline/5720766.p?id=1218686491955&skuId=5720766#tabbed-customerreviews

I know it has integrated graphics, but it's intel HD 4000 and it has a 3rd generation processor.
Is it any good? Could you guys find something better within my budget?

I want to be able to play guild wars 2 on atleast medium to high settings with 40 fps.

I know desktops are better, but I currently attend college and I bring my laptop with me to school to do my hw during my break hours. My laptop right now has a first generation i5 processor with intel HD graphics and it could run Guild Wars 2 on low/medium settings at 30 fps. But it drops in pvp or events

Some people can play even when their specs are below min requirements, they'll just have no support in the tech department.

Ehh...not sure about high settings, I use a Nvidia laptop GPU (500M series) and high settings aren't that smooth for me. I doubt that Intel HD graphics (even 4000) will be able to pull it off that well.
