Edit: I revised the post to help people understand the question!

Planning on moving in about 2-3 months and i want to sell my old PC, so i can buy a laptop for mobility! Budget is $1500 give or take, so any recommendations for laptops (please post links to an actual laptop) that can run Fallout 4 at maybe 30-60fps from med-high settings on a 1080p display would be great?

Note: I want to play the new fallout and need for speed flawlessly at high settings and close to 60fps probably at 1080p!

 I can play the Witcher 3 at 1080p, ultra settings at 53fps, so i am pretty sure, i can run them fine!

I got an i7 4790k and gtx 970, and I get 53fps in Witcher 3 Ultra, so I think you don't.

OP will probably want some kind of laptop with a gtx 980 or 980m for fallout 4, 60fps 1080p.

I’m moving soon and want to go mobile, so I was thinking of selling my PC and however much I get will be used towards a new laptop that is close in performance, the budget will be around $1500, here are the specs any recommendations are appreciated!

I put in over $2000 initially, i will probably include a PS4 controller, 2 monitors one at 20" 720p and the other 27" and 1080p, along with a keyboard and mouse! I am also willing to save up money to pay the difference if i'm not able to sell it for around $1400 including all the stuff! I will post pics if anyone is interested, just pm me.
 
Note: I want to play the new fallout and need for speed flawlessly at high settings and close to 60fps probably at 1080p!

 

 

You'd probably be able to get $1400 max for it if you're lucky, I'd say the PC itself would be more of like $1000-1200 as it's used, not new.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

Okay instead of telling me can't do this or that, let me simplify things, i want a laptop that can play fallout 4 in a range between medium and high settings and in a range between 45-60fps on a 1080p display, any recommendations for "laptops" on a $1500 budget "give or take"!?

By the way this is the laptop i had in mind, do you think it will give me the performance i want? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014QSTWKK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=A3EEXTUSWX65VP

If you are not in a hurry getting a good laptop, you could possibly get a laptop with the desktop 980 nvidia recently build, with various brands like msi/asus

Probably, I don't know about Fallout 4 (ultra) at a solid 60 fps though.. Also, your PC should be sold for about $600-1,000 - I could build a much better one for the price of your current PC!

Something on that scale wouldn't be in their budget probably.
