What kind of laptop can I get with 600700?

Hi, I really want to get a new laptop but I'm not sure which one to get. Can someone give me an idea of the kind of specs I can buy with a 700 ~ budget? I want a laptop that can play games like LoL, CSGO, Dota 2, and misc steam games very smoothly. I'm also not planning on playing intensive high end specs games like Witcher 3, GTA 5, and etc. So what kind specs do you think would do the trick? Right now I have a HP laptop that I bought 2 years ago on Black Friday and it's absolute garbage when it comes to gaming (no surprise). 1.4 GHz processor (league takes 90% CPU of it) and I cannot multi-task at all (opening 2 programs will lag me), 4 gigs of ram, AMD HD graphics card.

Thanks in advance,

Me too. I just wonder how smart are people who ask about any possible factor in advance.

I recently bought this Asus for 650$. 3.6gz i7 4720hq, geforce gt 930m, 8 gb ram, 1 tb
Haven't seen a better price for the specs and it runs League, Ms, CS very smooth
I plan on swapping a ssd for one of the 500gb hard drives to make it extra beastly

The games you listed don't really require a top notch laptop, you can actually get a good 8 gig RAM, 1 TB,good GHz processor and etc for that price.

Example: [url=http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/dell-dell-15-6-laptop-silver-matte-intel-core-i5-5200u-1tb-hdd-8gb-ram-windows-10-i5558-2144slv/10381858.aspx]This laptop right here is only 600 bucks and is pretty good[/url]

Obviously this isn't the best laptop for 600-700 dollars, I just picked the first one I saw on the website.
