Do a barrel roll!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Let me say what I basically am looking for:
-A Notebook for Gaming (of course)
-From what I've seen, i5 2500k core is the best, so one with that
-4-8GB of RAM (I would prefer to steer away from 4GB, but not that big of a deal)
-Relatively Low Price (No more than $600. I realize this may not be readonable, but who knows)
-I am mostly playing Minecraft but that's only because I can't even play games like BF on my PC because its so slow.

Thats all I can really think of, I'm no expert though. To put all that into one sentence, I want a cheap notebook that can run games smoothly.

Any advice helps.

Just putting this out there, you will rarely ever see a desktop chip (2500k) in a laptop, simply because shitbooks arent ideal for gaming

^ Yeah, and you won't get a laptop that can game very well at all for $600, but you could get one that would run Minecraft in that price range. Still, desktops are a cheaper and better option for gaming.

Ok, desktops are an option I suppose. So any suggestions for getting one with the same specs?

There's nothing wrong with CyberPower besides the shitty cases.
