I'm in a need for a laptop that is under $500. My budget can stretch little over $500. I play games like League of Legends and FPS (Counterstrike, CoD, BF4....). I don't really care for max settings, I prefer smoothness over quality. So can anybody recommend a good computer that I play games on?
Answer
$500 is low. For a time, Acer offered a laptop with HD 7670 graphics at $500 on closeout.
Although games like League of Legends can run on any modern laptop, you mention BF4, and some other modern games require much more graphics power to run, and some games set high minimums.
Used laptops are usually without significant warranty and do fail far more often.
You may see some sales next towards mid-March as the Asian accounting year is Apr 1-Mar 31 and a press for sales occurs.
Desktop/towers built on your own and using an already available TV can do much better.
Here is a gaming to graphics card list:

Intel HD Graphics 4400 at rank 252 is marginal.
Newegg.com, often of best prices, has nothing under $650 with dedicated graphics.
Lenovo G505s, a basic Essentials level from them where Ideapads and Thinkpads are more reliable, starts at $530 plus sales tax in Calif, NJ, TN
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834313719
AMD A-Series A10-5750M is not a strong CPU, but has Radeon HD 8650G.
That gets you to rank 192, and misses a few games, but may be the best you can do at $500.
Shop around, check the table reference, ask about it.
Brand Quality:

The lower end of each brand is HP-Pavilion, Lenovo Essentials, Toshiba Satellite, Dell Inspiron, HP-Compaq, and all Acer-Gateway
Newegg, BHPhoto, Adorama each may have something and even Best Buy sells a special deal every now and then.

Answer
I've found something that meets your specifications exactly, but it runs more in the range of $700, though I bet if you did some digging you might be able to find it for a little less. It's not a gaming laptop as much as it's a professional laptop. If you want a gaming laptop, such as those made by MSI, Asus, and Alienwear, you'll be looking as something that is easily twice that of your budget.
Here's the laptop I found, it meets your exact request, but is 70 dollars above your budget.
