I have gotten a new laptop and the specs are as followed:

Alienware m17x r4

Intel Core i7-3630QM Processor
(6MB Cache | 3.40GHz Turbo Mode / 2.40GHz non turbo mode)
16GB RAM at 1600MHz
750GB SATA Hard Drive
17.3" hd 1080p screen
2 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M
Slot Loading Blu-Ray Reader
Bluetooth
Killer Wireless-N 1103 a/g/n 3x3 MIMO
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Next few years? no. my laptop with gtx 670m is playing most games on medium-high with everything from 30 to 60 fps.
It will be good for now, but dont expect it to be great much longer than 1-2 years.
(I have had mine for about 1 year now)
If you want "future proof" you would want to build your own pc, or get a prebuilt one.

For laptop, that is pretty good, but if you do most of your gaming at home then you would want to build your own.

okay yah my problem is im always on the run and i need something portable if i were to get a new laptop is there anything that would fit my needs?

For casual gaming with no needs for high graphics, i would pick a "cheaper" notebook, and then build my own desktop.
You say you are always on the run. If you are near a charger, a high end laptop would be good, but not with ultra graphics and so on.
If not plugged into a charger, it would switch to intel graphics. Then the point of dedicated gpu would be killed

We need to know. Are you near a charger all the time "on the run"?
