Hello computer forum. I'm looking into buying a laptop but I want to be able to game on it.
I dont want to go to Alienware or Dell cause its all VERY overpriced. I was wondering if I could buy like a cheap laptop and replace the GPU. I was thinking like a cheap Dell or HP.
HP is not exactly cheap. It varies according to configuration. Alienware is crap, so it's not a good buy. Dell is worth the price(especially the XPS series).
I suggest that you buy a HP dv6000 or dv9000 series(it's entertainment series, i'm currently using it).

Yes, ofcourse. You can buy a laptop with low configurations and then upgrade the GPU as required.
The cost will vary according to your choice of GPU, so I cannot comment on that. But it will be significantly cheaper.

Usually, I give my laptop away to a service centre or a local shop to upgrade my laptop(because I'm not good with laptops and do not want to mess things up for me).
So I suggest that you do the same, however, if you find yourself more experienced, then you can open up your laptop and fit it in yourself.
