While everyone likes to play the latest shooter, and mess around in the biggest open world game, not everyone has the gaming system that’s up to the task. If you’re gamer stuck with a low end PC or laptop, here are the top 10 best games you can play on a low end PC. Best For: Hardcore Gamers. Page Up and Down, and Home and End keys. Additionally, most current keyboards have basic media-file-control features, usually volume, play, pause, and track-change.
I'm looking for the best possible games for my low end laptop. Upgrading isn't an option since i'm flat broke, neither is building a pc so please dont ask. These are my specs.

I'm not a fan of rpg or rts games and really want games that look good, that harness the power of my limited machine and not emulators (i have an xperia play for that) thanks:).

Faster Than Light, and check out all the Paradox strategy games, they dont require that much power to run. Anything on the Clausewitz Engine sucks RAM and will probably crash after a few turns. Either that or it will become unbearably slow, to the point where a day of in-game takes about 2 minutes IRL time (even on max fast-forward).
I speak from unfortunate experience. As others have stated, your best bet is to pick among the flood of indie/retro games.
Most of those require nothing and could probably run on a pocket calculator.
