2nd with MacBook 
If not, I will stick what you have in mind now. The Dell is always a decent one.

I use an Acer Aspire E 15 - Got it on sale at TigerDirect near my house when they were closing down.
The video card isn't that powerful, and it could use a bit more ram.. but the processor was a steal for the price (I paid ~$480 after taxes and stuff).
It came with an Intel Core i5-5200U, and although they're up to i7 and i9's and stuff - the i5 is more than capable of handling whatever process I need handled.
You could always just click here, too.

Go to a gaming forum, you'll get much more help there.
What I did was built a CUSTOM Laptop. There are plenty of services out there that will assemble it for you. My laptop was $1,700 I believe, no brand. However, branded , same specs, would probably cost arund $2,500-$3,000 (pulling these #s from my head).
Not sure about having a budget of $500 for building a custom laptop, but do some research and who knows, maybe works out better.
