I need a good gaming laptop for LAN events.?

I would really likes something affordable as in the $1000 to $1500 range, but if at all possible, I need a rig that will not be outdated in two years. It would be greatly to my benefit if it were something upgradeable, as far as GPU, CPU, ect. (the essentials).
I would like the RAM high, decent GPU and CPU. I'm not too concerned about HD space. I'd be satisfied with 150Gb. The notebook doesn't have to be pretty, compact or luxurious in any fashion as far as asthetics. It's the inside for me.

I thought this sounded familiar...

Why make a new thread?

I assume it's a spambot that's been written by people that understand the finer points of English.
