Have you considered to get a desktop for gaming? Mobile CPU and GPU are usually non-upgradeable. An excellent gaming laptop today will be obsolete in couple of years.

MSI GT70 Is probably the best gaming laptop right know.

I did consider a desktop I am going to my relative's house to meet them and then buying it in USA as it is cheaper there in live in India and cannot afford a desktop as I am always shifting and the desktop will break and I cannot bear the loss.
