Help! Need a home laptop that I can also game on, plugging in to 2/3 screens, that I can also upgrade later. The family will use it for bowsing, MS Office and managing photos etc. I want to be able to play modern games (my current one can't run Hell Let Loose, for example) , Budget £2,500 - I have no idea to to configure the best value...help gratefully received!

Does it need to be portable? IE, does weight and battery life matter? Or is it more of a desktop replacement?
