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 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


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.

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

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.

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.

I'd say if you're just getting a laptop, get it from best-buy.

Easier to handle warranty shit.
