Hi Im in quite a dilemma here. After two two weeks of searching the web for laptops, theres so many of them i cant seem to know which one to get, so Im hoping your infinite knowledge can help  . You see I need a laptop that can be used for casual gaming and can also be used for school work. I really want a laptop that can play Final Fantasy 14 without too much lag or freezes. I am a broke college student so my spending limit is $500! Any advice is greatly appreciated, and I will most likely buy the one you guys and gals recommend

Thanks!

oh and i dont mind buying a refurbished laptop if that helps.
