Looking for a laptop to replace my aging desktop rig

[spengos]

I have no idea how to compare desktop to laptop so looking for some help finding something at least as good as my current desktop but hopefully a bit more powerful/future proof for the next few years. I'm hoping this can be done on a max budget around £1000.

My aging desktop rig:

Intel i5-4670k 3.4GHz
8GB ram
Nvidia GTX 760
120GB SSD

Laptop will be used for general stuff with a bit of casual gaming. I don't need to play the latest games on the very absolute highest settings but obviously the more power the better.

Most of the time it'll be hooked up to a monitor so screen size isn't too important.

Decided there's not much I like the look of for under £1k so bumping my budget up to £1500. The MSIs look nice and have good specs. So currently favouring those.

I'm wondering if it's worth paying the extra for the 980 over a 970...

There's an MSI for £1499 but the equivalent Asus with the 980 is over my budget. But the Asus does seem to get the better reviews. Hmmm.
