Looking for a new laptop under $500. 15 inch screen and decent enough graphics card to run a few more simple games like Civilization: Beyond Earth and Tropico 5 along with some word processing. I won’t be playing any super demanding games like GTA 5. Should be Direct X 11 compatible.

Not worried about battery life and I don’t care about what brand it is.
