If you can lower your expectations a bit, you should be able to get something workable.
If you opt for the fairly used laptop route, you should be able to snag:

A third gen corei5(corei5 3xxx), or a third gen corei7(corei7 3xxx) CPU
4GB of DDR3 RAM
250GB - 500GB HDD
14.1" - 15.6" screen, 1366 x 768 pixels resolution max.
The dedicated GPU is where you might need to sacrifice a lot, with your budget you probably can't do better than an Nvidia 840M GPU.

Alternatively, if you're quite desperate you can go the AMD route, for both the CPU and the GPU, if you don't mind the slightly reduced performance. You might want to check out an AMD A8-6410 based system or better still AMD A8-7xxx and A10-7xxx based systems. The good news is that you won't spend as much as you would have on an Intel corei based system.

Those are my own two cents, others are welcome to critique this.

Advisable u look at d processor type(definitely a core i5 above and 2nd generation upward---- 4th generation preferable)
Nvidea 1gb video ram minimum bt amd equivalent is also manageable
6gb ram(dats d least u should go for please so u dnt regret)
No harddisk size is enuf for me shaa
so 500hd minimum..

product names/model and go online for its pros and cons

Also check for the brand new price online, rating online, possibly video review online
so as to av an idea of wat u ar buying.

I think buyers digression is strongly advice. because we al av different taste.

D aforementioned links are only to serve as a guideline

The gtx 660M is not bad. U should be able to run current games on medium to high settings. That i5 tho!! But luckily its a quad core so u shouldn't ve too much problems wit it.
But dat display sha..... 14" is a no no for me! Wats d resolution?? 1366x768 or 1920x1080??

that is tthe mistake most people make, they think all corei7 is better than corei5 , when looking for a gaming laptop first thing to consider is the gpu. I play current games at high settings , I play RYSE at ultra. 14 is okay for me plus I sometimes connect it to tv . And run smoothly .whta is your laptop specs AdeLaNa1

I'm on a geforce 820m, 8gig ram, 3rd generation i5(dual core). The lappy is really low end. I play most games on low to medium settings. But i'm currently playing BF4 multiplayer on low settings and Fifa 15 online on High!

Upgrading very soon sha. Looking for a gtx 970m or a gtx 980m pc. These are the best gpus u'll find in a laptop currently.

I think its those that come in SLI configurations that are always dat expensive. Last i saw one that had 970 was like 270k wen i converted it sha. But if time reach to buy and money no reach, then i'll settle for d nxt best one i see. Maybe 950m or 960m.

Besides this naira-dollar exchange rate is wats killing us as pc gamers...

yeah its GT not GTX but it's really cheap when you compare the price vs specs. I have seen specs in Nigeria not up to that selling for much higher price.
