Looking for best gaming laptop I can afford

[Fredfredbug4]

I'll be going into college soon and I want to get a gaming laptop. I know desktops are usually better, however I want to be able to take my gaming with me anywhere I go. Also, dorms aren't the biggest and saving space by getting a desktop-replacement rather than a desktop would be a good choice.

I want to get the most gaming power I can get for my money as well as all this....

Budget: 2000 to 2500 dollars
Size: 16 to 18 inches
Battery Life: 6 hours minimum
- Recently released
- Good tech support
- Four or more USB ports
- Integrated webcam
- Good start up time
- Reliable
- Decently durable (doesn't have to be made out of tungsten, but it shouldn't be made out of paper)
- Will be powerful enough to last me two or more years without having to get an upgrade.

Please do not suggest Alienware, from my research they are overpriced Dells with even more issues.
