    Budget gaming laptop under 500$. Comes with a 3 month warranty.

    You can also easily overclock the CPU to 2.2Ghz. If you don't know how, check out the Asus NBR forum section and there's a K53TA thread dedicated on how to overclock it properly ;)

    Found this on redflagdeals and those who ordered it seem very satisfied with it. It's a shame that the TigerDirect 399$ deal expired yesterday - What a steal price.

    Note: 6720G2 is in crossfire mode; otherwise, it's 6650.

    This laptop is also on sale as new at Staples - Canada for 100$ more and comes with a 1 year warranty.
