What sort of games? May need to increase your budget if it's anything high end. This isn't too bad - http://h20386.www2.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=C1W55EA&opt=ABU&sel=PCNB

There is a 12% off code (12OFFAFS) which takes it down to around £350.

Within your budget, this looks ok http://www.ebuyer.com/398944-zoostorm-laptop-7873-9040 but doesn't come with an operating system.

Another couple that don't look too bad around your price range.

A new laptop for £300 that has a 17" screen and lets you play games? I think your expectations are somewhat unrealistic...

You won't get anything special for £300 spec-wise, and you certainly won't get a 17" screen (although I'm not sure why you'd want a screen that size on a laptop - do you know how heavy and bulky they are?).

Have a look on websites like eBuyer to see what's available for your budget.

Laptop and gaming is usually a shitty cocktail.

This deal looks excellent for your needs. Better processor than the one you posted. If your willing to spend this, you probably will struggle to get a better 17" laptop for your money.
