so my current setup is:
Foxconn H55MXV
Intel i3 530 @2.93GHz
Radeon HD 5770
4Gb DDR3 Ram
1TB Hard Drive

As you can probably see, I'm starting to drop off the requirements for most games and slipping into the minimum requirements, if not unable to play some new games at a decent frame-rate.

To this end I'm looking to upgrade my system to something a bit beefier with about £800-£1000 to play with.

Now all of this would be fine, except that this September i will be moving to Japan for about a year, then returning to the UK. Finally, I'll most likely return to Japan the following September for another two years or so. Any thoughts? my main issues at the moment are portability and future proofing, and whether to buy it over there or not.
My plan at the moment is to buy the best gaming laptop i can for my money just before i return to the UK, hopefully making the most of the exchange rate and the prices. It's worth saying I'm not too bothered about having anything for most of my first year in Japan as i should be preoccupied enough as it is, but would definitely like something for when i return to the UK.
