If you are spending that much consider a Dell Alienware 17 R2 laptop and buy the graphics amplifier as well.
It has all the power you need right now, but it the graphics amplifier lets you plug in a desktop PC graphics card in the future so it can keep running games at high settings in four years time.

Just remember to tick that you want the 980m GPU as you work through your options.
The 970m will not last as well as the 980m for when you are traveling and don't want to bring a graphics amplifier.

You can get an amazing gaming laptop for under $1500. If you have $5,000 then Alienware is the way.
