Help me find a laptop

I need a new laptop but there are SO MANY out there, looking for advice.

here are must haves for me:
14 inch screen (I can settle for 15 inch if its absolutely necessary)
Ability to play some games fairly well like: Sims, Minecraft, CSGO, TF2 (not powerhouse games)

Some things I would like but don't need:
A centered track pad
A keyboard with no number pad
touch screen

Price range: Maximum $500-600 (USA)

Any suggestions will do nicely! I know I'm asking a lot, which is why I need help lol. I don't need to play games in the highest settings, I just want to be able to play them without them being super slow (as they are on my current laptop). I'm not great with laptop specs and processors and what-not, so I don't know what is considered good or good enough when searching for a laptop on my own.

Laptop specs for productivity and light gaming?

I'm looking to get a new laptop and i'm very picky. I found an HP I like, with different options for processors and graphics and want to know what my best bet would be. The only games I play are Minecraft, Sims, and some steam games such as CSGO and TF2 so not exactly powerhouse games. I'm just looking for a laptop that will let me play lag-free, I don't care about graphics too much. Here are the options for the laptop:

AMD Quad-Core A10-9620P APU (2.5 GHz, up to 3.4 GHz burst frequency, 2 MB cache) + AMD R5 Graphics

AMD Dual-Core A9-9420 APU (3 GHz, up to 3.6 GHz, 1 MB cache) + AMD Radeon(TM) 530 Graphics (2GB dedicated memory) (+$20)

AMD Quad-Core A12-9720P APU (2.7 GHz, up to 3.6 GHz burst frequency, 2 MB cache) + AMD R7 Graphics (+$40)

AMD Quad-Core A10-9620P APU (2.5 GHz, up to 3.4 GHz, 2 MB cache) + AMD Radeon(TM) 530 Graphics (2GB dedicated memory) (+$60)

The ram is 8 gb. Which processor and graphics card option would be best for what I need?

How tall is the George Bush Center for Intelligence building (CIA headquarters)?

So I've already gotten all the dimensions for the FBI's Edgar Hoover building so I can build it in Minecraft in the future, but I haven't been able to find any known measurements for the CIA's Headquarters. If you know the highest height of the entire complex, that would be great. However, if you can tell me each individual height of each building in the complex, that would be even more helpful especially since I wouldn't have to figure that out by doing a ton of math calculations.

What's are good and low budget AM3 processors and graphics cards?

My "gaming pc" doesn't really game anymore. I have a AMD PHENOM II X4 and a NVIDIA EVGA GTX 460. It's pretty garbage and I wanted to know what I could upgrade too with a budget under $150? I mainly just want to play modded/Minecraft and some other games. I just want good FPS with no lag spikes while gaming. Info would really help thanks.

My fiance and I are looking for a new MMORPG game. Suggestions?

I need help… My fiance and I have really been wanting to play a game together on our computers that we BOTH can enjoy. I've tried many games with her so far, but none have quite fit right with both of us at the same time. Can anyone help us out with this?

Our Requirements:

MUST be a F2P MMORPG or MMOG
NO Gender Locked Classes
NO Pay To Win (cash shops are fine though, mostly)
Decent Customization (don't want characters that look the same as others)

Our Preferences:

Fantasy Genre
Open World
Sandbox

Games We've Tried That Failed:

FlyFF
Guild Wars 2
Maplestory
Minecraft
Neverwinter
Perfect World
Rift
Trove
Warframe

A game we both tried back when we first met was RaiderZ, it was nearly PERFECT for us, but sadly it died a while ago and ever since, we've been trying to replace it with something new and better.
