Try this Toshiba: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/898314/Toshi... its on sale until Saturday Feb. 5. This has been the cheapest one I have found because I am also looking for a new laptop with similar requirements for college. This one is nice because it also has more features then Acer.

You're not going to find an ASUS laptop with any of those graphics chips for $700, sorry. Not a new one anyway. That being said, your best bet is this recertified one here with the GTX 260M: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

I can tell you now that you will not find a class1 graphics card laptop for under $700
