Gaming Laptop Recommendations around ~$1,500 w/ GTX970M, SSD, 15.6"?

[blabbate]

Anybody have an recommendations for a reasonable gaming laptop around $1,500 with a GTX970M (or possibly 965M), SSD for boot, 15.6" screen? Slim and light is a bonus, but not required.

I'm looking at things like:
ASUS ROG G501JW-DS71
Acer Aspire V15 Nitro

But I'm pretty overwhelmed by all the options out there. Any help would be great.

Thanks!

That looks ... just about perfect? Are there any downsides that don't show up in the specs? Noise, heat, etc? Because that looks pretty great. Thanks!

The downsides are that your friends will be compelled to kill you in order to pry it from your cold dead hands, due to how awesome that keyboard is.
