I 'need' a gaming laptop that runs GTA 5 on ultra settings at 60fps. My budget is $2000, and I want it to run on 1080p. I also want it to have a minimum of 8GB of RAM, 1TB of HDD/SSD, and an i7 processer with a minimum clock speed of 3.6Ghz.

If this is not possible, how much would I need to spend on one that matches all of these specs and what model should I buy?

Thanks!!

970M won't get 60FPS with GTA on Ultra. Only current GPU in laptops that will is the 980(not to be confused with the 980M), though under extreme conditions in game it could drop to the upper 40s.Only other option that will consistently run over 60fps is SLI(2 graphics cards), though that will most likely demolish your budget.

Just to clarify, the 970m will consistently get you between 30-60fps. Under light conditions in game, you'll even exceed 60fps, but under extreme conditions you'll drop to the low 30s. Just want you have realistic expectations of what you'll get out of it. Not sure what other games you're playing or into, but GTA 5 is on the higher end of pushing the graphical limits, so the 970m will crush most other games in terms of fps. Very solid and capable GPU.
 
Lower your expectations or significantly increase your budget.

Based on the link below the nVidia GTX 980 (notebook) only managed to get 51 FPS. That is a cherry picked desktop GTX 980 chip that has been tested to operate on lower voltage; enough to be able to be used in a laptop. It is significantly more powerful than the mobile GTX 980m.
