Help needed to buy a laptop

Options
Hi guys, I was hoping someone may be able to help with some advice on what sort of spec I need for a new laptop.
My old one was a present so I have no idea what spec it was but now that it has died I'm tasked with finding a new one with no one to turn to for advice on what I should be looking for!
It's main use is for browsing the internet, using ebay and storing photos. Chances are there are going to be plenty of photos on there so I know I will need a reasonable size memory. The computer is likely to be used every day and another big use is gaming. These are simple puzzle games, hidden object ones etc that you buy in the shops for a fiver, nothing hi-tech like some of the others - but they get played a lot!
So basically, something that will support these games, lots of daily usage and hold my pictures. I suppose a good battery life would be handy too.
Can anyone advise what sort of things I should be looking for based on this usage, how much it is likely to cost and if you know the best sort of places to look for offers?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
