Intel i7 6700HQ vs AMD FX-6300

[NiceGuyEric]

Hello! Class is starting back up tomorrow and I plan to spend more time on campus than I used to because I am going to join some clubs this year. My classes are also more spread apart so I am going to be on campus most of the day and will have plenty of free time. Hopefully.
Currently I am using an old Chromebook that I bought nearly 3 years ago. It has served me well, but it cannot perform some of the tasks I would like it to.

The tasks: Mostly programming and video editing. I'm also interested in learning some 3d modeling/animation and doing some light gaming.

I would like to get a laptop that runs as well as, if not better, than my desktop. Preferably. For some of the tasks above it has some troubles.

Current Desktop specs:
AMD FX-6300
16 GB DDR3 Ram
GTX 960 2 GB GDDR5

General specs of the laptops I've been looking at:
Intel i7 6700hq
16 GB DDR4 Ram
GTX 970m 3 GB GDDR5

Question: How would a laptop of those specs compare to my current desktop?

If you would like more information let me know and I'll respond ASAP. Thanks!

CPU wise, that laptop is going to be WAY WAY faster than your FX-6300. As for the GPU, it will be about equalish (the 970M is going to be a tad quicker I think).
