Youve no chance of getting a powerful system for 450. Keep your money and buy a new console.

No mate, don't even go there, laptops are garbage unless you pay big money for a gaming one. And as for pc world, avoid like the plague, they only stock cheap and nasty parts, belive me i once worked there. Either save up or buy a console.
You could quite easily build a decent enough that would play those games probably not an ivy build but certainly one good enough for gaming.
Have a look around at the older chip sets even the p45 with a decent q6600 a gpu would not be so bad for gaming. I have one paired with a 7870 2gb that my lil en uses that plays every single game although it does struggle with gta4 at max setting but turning down a few eye candy runs fine
Dont buy a new console either
