New Computer suggestions?

so I want to buy my own laptop (not a desktop because i won't have anywhere to put it) but I don't know which kind I should get. I will mainly use it for playing games such as minecraft and doing schoolwork, but i might play other more demanding games like space engineers http://www.spaceengineersgame.com/system-requirements.html. I would like it to be under or around 500$. Any suggestions?

 

Cyberpower GUA880 is a favorite of mine. Overclocking can get it to 3.8 GHz.

 

I wouldn't overclock a laptop. Imagine how loud and hot it would get without modding it >.<

 

It isnt a laptop, it is a desktop :p

Edit: Now that I read the thread correctly, it was for a laptop. Oh, then my reply is not needed :/
