Well for gaming, you need a laptop with a dedicated graphics card. And if you want to play on higher settings, you will want the little bit better graphics, which come on $600-800 laptops, which is good becuase they are in your budget.
Here are some examples of what you should look for in specs, you can shop around for better prices:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=Property&N=100006740&IsNodeId=1&minPrice=600&maxPrice=850&PropertyCodeValue=2923%3A18470&page=2&bop=And&CompareItemList=32|34-215-245^34-215-245-08%23%2C34-246-221^34-246-221-TS%2C34-158-058^34-158-058-TS%2C34-220-997^34-220-997-TS
Gaming is based mostly on graphics, so go for one with better graphics and a lesser cpu, then the other way around. (dont get a laptop with an i7 when it comes with a gt 520m graphcis card lol, get the one with an i5 and gt 550/550m lol).
4gb of ram is more then enough, so dont let laptops that come with more then 4gb persuade you. You likely will never use more then 4gb anyway, even when gaming. Also ram is VERY easy to add in later, you cant change your graphics or cpu.
Now as for graphics, dotn get a card because it has 2 or 3gb of video memory. Video memory has VERY VERY little to do with overall performance (popular to very popular belief). You wont need more then 1gb of laptops. The onyl way having 1-2gb even is semi useful is for 1920x1080 resolution (or above) or if you are using multi monitor displays.
Well most laptops dont come with 1920x1080 resolutions anyway (when even then 1gb is enough).
Out of those, id say the $799 asus or the $809 hp.
The hp has quite a bit better specs, but only a 1366x768 resolution screen (which is the normal laptop resolution), but the asus has a 1920x1080 screen.
The hp since it has better specs and a low resolution, can probably come close to maxing games. Since the asus is 1920x1080, and only has a gt550m you will likely only be able to play on med settings because of such a high resolution.
But you can always set the game to play at a lower resolution so u can play at higher settings.

Brand buying advice
You get what you pay for. Systems with high end parts with low prices are to be viewed with suspicion. They have to cut corners somewhere to get the price down. What cost you less today is going to cost you more tomorrow.
Apple makes a good quality laptop. The problem comes when it requires service or minor upgrades. It is near impossible to do anything with them. They even glue the battery and hard drive down so you can not change it. They solder the ram to the logic board so you can not increase it. They lock up most of the software so your stuck with what they approve.
Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.
Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony should be avoided because of their heavy modification of Windows and the drivers. If you remove some of the bloat they install, you can cripple the system.
Acer, Gateway, and eMachines should be avoided period. Low end system that are driving the race to the bottom.
Dell once made a good system and fell from grace. They are now struggling to regain their place in the market. Customer service is one of many problems with this company.
Alienware are glorified Dells and are more name then product. Priced extremely high for what you get. They do perform but you can get the same for less by looking around, just not packaged to be eye candy to the gamers.
Samsung has a history of using cheap parts in critical areas. Capacitors has been one area Samsung has a known history of going cheap, causing units to fail early. For that reason I would avoid them.
ASUS and HP do not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They have excellent build quality. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it.
Ultrabooks are the higher end of Wintel laptops but they have some of the same concerns as Apple. They make it next to impossible to change any hardware in them. Service of them will have to be done by the manufacturers. With most of them, you can not change your own battery or hard drive. They are designed to catch your eye but they are not any more special then other laptops except for the fact that they are slim or thin. Your paying for it being thin and slim. For the money your going to spend on it you can buy a much better laptop with more power.
Hybrids are the worse of the worse. The flip or detachable touch screens are just a disaster waiting to happen.
Never buy an All In One. They are far worst then laptops of any kind to service and they have a higher failure rate.
Choose wisely.
