Anyone recommend a gaming laptop for £300. Not looking to build one myself or anything just want to buy it whole.

You'd be hard-pressed to find something that qualifies as a 'gaming' laptop for that kind of price, unless you're just talking about being able to play mir?
What do you want to play on it?
In the current market a low-end gaming laptop at minimum would set you back about £450, you'd probably get a 9300M GS with that which isn't a bad GPU. But the moment you start going lower in price you're stuck with onboard, with the focus on cpu + memory.

isnt to bad, its £40 over budget, but the ones iv looked at on a few sites for £300 ur only going to get single core. so for the extra 40, u get the AMD dual core. it not amazing brilliant, but its not bad ither.
mine plays all games out atm, and is slightly lower than that, so that shouldnt have a problem playing any games

What are you on about?? Could you have found a worse laptop for gaming! There's a reason no GPU is listed, it doesn't have one! I even checked a review of it:
"And considering that it pulls video memory from main RAM, it will never be appropriate for playing 3D online games; in some of our gaming tests it registered appalling framerate scores, in the single digits (basically slideshows)."
I don't know what 'current' games you think you can play adequately on a laptop with a lower spec than that. Are you sure your laptop, although possbily worse off in processing power doesn't have a GPU? If you want a laptop for gaming you need a decent graphics card.
Please don't buy the above laptop if you're planning on playing anything more than say... mir.

I can go a little over budget but not miles. I dont want to go out waste **** loads of money on a laptop that wont run nothing. Thats why ive asked here as lomcn members know alot more about pc's and laptops than i ever will.
Edit: I dont play WOW,Mir aything like that. Into First Person Shooters and have games like toontown installed and able to run.

isnt to bad (iv looked at the graphics card on this 1) the only thing this doesnt support is blue ray. the processer speed (if it is as stated) is pretty fast. the graphcis card isnt brilliant but should run the games uvlisted above.
