FYI, if gmods the only thing, my laptop runs it maxed @ 30-40fps on most gamemodes like TTT and ZS.
It's a 200$ Inspiron w/ a integrated GPU.
750 can get you a nice gaming rig that'le even make crysis cry.

You can get a nice computer for $750 Try the bundles at Newegg, many good deals! Basically they bundle all the parts and you put it together.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.683101&cm_sp=DIY_PC_Combos-_-683101-_-Combo (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.683101&cm_sp=DIY_PC_Combos-_-683101-_-Combo) This one doesn't come with a graphics card so you will need to get one separately. I recommend http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121434 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121434)
Here is a list of a bunch of combos. Make sure you read what parts they have so you don't get it then find out it's missing something it didn't include you need.

Considering you just want to run Gmod both of these are extreme overkill so do what snivy said.

is it possible to play tf2 at least on low, also is it possible to make it wireless, the wires makes my house look like a crack house, and yeah, also what do u recommend? and the newegg stuff, its a diy kinda thing where u have to build it yourself?
-
Wtf... how do wires make your house look like a crack house...
Trying to get everything wireless is probably just a lot of unnecessary cost...

If you want to play TF2 on low, get yourself an 2005 E-Machine from your local craigslist for 50$.

ok maybe not LOW-low, but yeah, nothing overkill, enough to run tf2,gmod,css, source game on low-high, anything lower then 750 could work, im just generalizing, so yeah, if something around 200$ dollars can run tf2 just as fine on medium graphics then, sure ill take it, anything to replace my laptop right now

If you just want a laptop thats decent for gaming.
Example video -
HP G62 Gaming: Modern Warfare 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eVQ84lt9tM#)
You'd be able to run TF2/Gmod/Source maxed, along with being able to play most other games decently.

I have the same lappy as snivy
It runs garrys mod great but I would just stick with my PC for gaming.

ILL TAKE IT....later, but yeah a pc will be great so if one of the components blows up on me, i dont have to buy another laptop or something

Dude, pretty much any computer after 2007 can play TF2 on high settings. My old $50 graphics card could run it maxed out with 50 - 100 fps. So pretty much anything will work. Do what Snivy said and just get some $300 - $500 laptop.
-
what store do you want it from?
-
ummm, what do you suggest? since im not really sure anymore lol

I'd say if you're just getting a laptop, get it from best-buy.
Easier to handle warranty shit.

Actually, for $30-$40 cheaper and somewhat faster, I'd prefer the HD6850.

hope you got your monitor, os, keyboard, mouse and all other shit like that
-
mouse-yes, keyboard-no, monitor-at somewhere else, im playing on a laptop, but i want a pc
-
get a cheap temporary keyboard from somewhere until you save the money up for a new, decent one
unless you're willing to go over the 750$ limit?
-
found this crappy keyboard in my room, and the monitor im going have to ask my bros to borrow one or something
-
remember to check if your labtop can accommodate all that shit.
Because I never did so now im stuck with a 170 dollar graphics that is doing jack shit until i get a new case >.>

You really don't need 8g worth of RAM. 4 is good enough for gaming.

Future proofing a laptop? yano.
4GB will do fine, only get 8GB if you plan on running a server off it lol...
-
Yeh, for now 4gb==12gb.
No difference.
-
4GB < 6GB < 8GB
6GB is good for all :)
