Hi everyone! I was looking really hard at the asus rog swift (i own a 1080p with a 970 atm) and thinking to grab myself one along with a second 970. The cost of the upgrade can essential allow me to look at other options such as returning my 970 for a 980 or even straight up getting a gaming laptop. I like the idea of portability, especially for lan parties. My girlfriend also games on my rig so It might be fun being able to co-op or duo in games like league of legends. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated!

I wouldnt sell the 970 for a 980, I wouldn't sell the system for a laptop, and If you are asking if you should upgrade or buy a laptop, the laptop is going to be much more expensive than an upgrade.

I already looked into it. Though the performance of gaming laptops are no where near the upgrade, I found a few priced nearly the same as the set up.
