Good laptop for me for school and Internet?

[Fireflies]

I've been saving up the last year for a laptop and now have $325. I'm 13 and would like to look into laptops. I would use it for:

-Doing projects
-Writing papers
-Some gaming
-School research
-YA.. Lol
-Facebook
-Checking grades/online assignments

I'd like a 15-17in screen, fairly fast, 1.5ghz or higher with a CD player. That's it. I'm gonna save up some more. My price limit, is $400 or under. I may pay a little higher if worth it. I don't want a tablet, I have an iPad mini I got for Christmas. I love it but its not the best for school aside from some apps. I've been saving up since I was 12 and ill be 14 in march, I'm hoping to have it by a few days after my birthday or sooner, ha. I'm very grateful but I need Microsoft word and my dad works on our family computer most of the time, and my library is out of city. So..
