Right now, you can get an MSI entry-level gaming laptop with a GTX 1650 graphics card for only $676.93.

This MSI GF75 variant features a 4-core/8-thread Intel Core i5-9300H processor, a large 17.3" 1920x1080 display, 256GB NVMe SSD for storage, 8GB of 2666MHz RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card; the small SSD capacity is a bit disappointing, but only enough for a few games, and can be upgraded as needed.
