I'll be honest, a laptop is not going to be your best value for money. especially for gaming.

Have you thought about maybe building a mini desktop?

Msi is probably the best for you for your budget.

This would be a decent gaming laptop:

At 1080P you should be able to play most games on high/ultra I think. Maybe medium/high on the most demanding stuff.



If you did decide to go for a portable desktop, this would give similar performance and can be overclocked:

You could bring the cost down a bit with a cheaper case and motherboard but it looks like the laptop is actually decent value as it is obviously more portable and includes a monitor and OS.

Best laptop under 800 dollars would be Lenovo Y40.
But it only has 14 inch screen. If screen size does not bother you, these two are also good:
Lenovo Y50
ASUS K501
