Ok so I'm not looking for some hardcore graphics card one. But or games like Starcraft and Rome Total War and stuff like that, any ideas where I can build one that cheap?

Check newegg or tigerdirect.

For readers who want a top-of-the line gaming laptop over $500, I know the best buy as of this moment (it will change in a couple of months, of course) because my son and I spent Christmas Eve looking around. He ordered it that evening and received it a week ago.
