But I'm not sure if it will be worth it.
Are gigabyte laptops good?
Should I wait until nvidia launches a new gen gpus or just buy this? And maybe something else

I personally dont think high cpus are worth spending money over
 
FWIW, it shows an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M w/6GB video memory, not a 980M w/8GB video memory.

Still looks like a great deal to me, though. I'd snatch it up. :D

EDIT: Oops. Didn't realize someone dug up a month old post to reply to. Probably a bit late...
