I always use laptops for gaming:) Right now I have new MSI GE60-0NC for $1000 (our Russian modification has only Core i5 instead of Core i7, but for the same price). I won't say that it runs BF3 in Ultra (it does, but with 15 FPS), but pretty good for gaming. Previously used $600-700 models, and wanted to buy one this time, but in last moment decided to add $300 more. I can say that though laptop is not as upgradable as desktop, if it's good, it can be sold after a year for about 70% of original cost. But even adding remaining 30% will give you new modern hardware.
$600-700 laptop, if carefully chosen, will run all modern games with High details, but not more. All upcoming games will run on High or Low settings, but for at least 2 or 3 years you won't see any game that you can't run at all.
I have desktop PC, regulary ugrade it, but almost never use it :D I can't carry it anywhere, or use in bed (I have wireless keyboard and mouse, and TV works as monitor - but that's not as comfortable as laptop). If I want a big screen, I can connect laptop to TV.
Surely, there are some laptop with upgradable GPU and CPU. I wish i can recommend it but It would be 2000 dollar.
No I do not have the parts and equipment yet, I am fishing around (budget was and is USD770, for now). I'm starting to get the feeling I will have to invest in 4 great parts and the rest I can get by (PSU, Motherboard, dedicated graphics card and Processor), right?
Was in a debate with my brother in law again. Whereby I told him that I don't need an Intel i7, and I believe i5 could suit my needs for at least a few years... But which model of i5 should I consider... Lets say I was to even push the budget up to 1,100 USD?
B3RT, it's not easy to give a list of parts you need - as there are too many possible combinations. For example, there is a great buch of Intel CPUs, with small price and performance difference (+/- 100 MHz, +/- 10 USD). Same works for Motherboards (plenty of them with little changes) and GPUs (yes, they're like "NVidia GeForce 550 Ti" - but from different manufacturers like Palit or ASUS). We don't know what you can get in Seychelles, so
I can only give you basic guidelines on all parts:
Motherboard - price from 50 to 200 USD. For your situation motherboard for $70-90 will be enough. Though it's one of the main parts, it's pretty cheap (compared to other parts), and can be replaced in future. Main things you need there - socket 1155, 4x DDR3 slots, chipset model doesn't matter (IMHO), any of modern ones (starting from 6 or 7 in model number, like N61 or Z77).
CPU - price about $190-230. First number in model represents generation, like Core i5-3450 is 3-rd Generation CPU. Both 2nd and 3rd generations use 1155 socket, 2nd generation has Intel HD2000 or HD3000 graphics, 3rd generation has Intel HD2500 or HD4000 graphics. So, if you are going to wait a bit with buying discrete GPU, better search for 3rd generation Core i5 with HD4000. CPUs can be sold as OEM (CPU only), or in boxed versions (CPU+cooler). Cooler from boxed version is usually good, and if you're not planning to overclock CPU, better buy boxed version. Separate cooler may cost you $20-50.
RAM - price about $20-30 for 1x 4Gb sitck. Things that matter: DDR3, higher frequency is better, maximum is determined by CPU and Motherboard you've selected. If you're gonna save as much money as possible, and buy more RAM later, 1x 4 Gb stick will be enough. Best preformance is reached when RAM used in pairs (dual-channel mode), so if you're going to buy everything altogether, buy 2x or 4x sticks - from 1 manufacturer (most will work, but I'd prefer Hynix or Kingston), with same frequency.
GPU - as Fum said, best choice would be GeForce GTX560 Ti or Radeon HD 7850 - price about $200-220 for any of them. If you'll see several versions of them from different manufacturers - write them here, we'll try to choose the best.
Case + PSU - they can be bought separately, or together (some cases go with PSU already), but anyway they'll cost you about $100 both.
HDD - 1 Tb 7200 RPM HDD will cost you about $100. Thing that matter - cache size, more is better. You can also buy SSD, but I won't count it here.
For now it's about $700-800 (with 2x RAM sticks) already, but there are some things left, that you may need:
Mouse + Keyboard, cheapest ones will go for $30-40 together.
DVD/Blu-ray drive for $20-50
I guess that should be enough) You'll need monitor (or use TV), and if you'll have money left - buy some better stuff.
You can make a list of what you had found (with prices), and post it here.
LOL, no, even cheap laptops may have upgradeable CPU/GPU. Example - my previous Toshiba Satellite L655 for $600 had both upgradable CPU and GPU.
Unless you plan on traveling with your PC or need to constantly move it from place to place, a 'gaming desktop' is the way to go....
btw, it is also very fun to build your own PC, can't really do that with a laptop.
Sorry for the delay in checking your posts. I've just been accepted to University and for the past week I've been in and out of several offices. I haven't had the time to play any games let alone check your posts.
I will be going over them shortly. Again, I apologise. I appreciate the help.
In the Seychelles, if I cannot come across any parts, I can order them online, or ask a favour from family or friends travelling overseas (Singapore or Dubai). If I check with some local PC spare suppliers, I could order thru them, but special orders are usually more costly.
I've been accepted to University of London, so gaming has to be put on hold. We start in October 2012 but lessons have been published already ( -.- ) (long distance learning)
I like RTS games (C&C, Starcraft) but lately I've been sticking to role playing and first person shooters... like Alan Wake, Mass Effect 3 (they are the last games I purchase for a while). I'ts been established. No laptop. I need a desktop.

B3RT, good luck with study and parts!
