The choice is huge, I'm lost - Gaming laptop

I need a gaming laptop recommendation, one that doesn't look like a plasticky laptop from 1990. Don't have much space so reason for a laptop. I particularly like driving games and would love to use a gaming laptop with oculus rift and a wheel (is that possible?).

Got my sights set on a asus g751j but they're not out yet.

What's your budget?

Well ASUS G751J cost between £1599-1899 on pre-order but that with a single GTX 980M 4GB, 24-32GB RAM, 1TB HDD & 256-512GB SSD. You could better off wait for Aorus X7 Pro V3-CF1 with GTX 970M SLi 6GB, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD and 2 x 256GB SSDs for £1999.

GTX 970M SLi is faster than GTX 980M.

Yeah looks like the Aorus X7 pro is the one to go for.

GT72 is a good choice. We was at iSeries last weekend with the GT72 with three screens in Nvidia Surround and it ran like a dream

We had BF4 and Dirt Showdown on all weekend.

That 72 is a beauty. I'm using the 70D and that is excellent, but this is a tempting upgrade. Just a huge amount of cash.
