980m vs 970m or Pascal?

Hi guys. I am soon going to get a new laptop soon. I want to play Star Wars: Battlefront on ultra settings getting 60 fps+. So my question is if it is worth it going for the 980m over the 970m or even waiting for Pascal. Oh and it Also Needs to be "future proof" Cause i don't plan to get a new one again anytime soon ;). It Would Also be great if you could recommend me a laptop. (Has to be Msi or Asus)

Just got a laptop with a 970m and can play GTAV and Rise of Tomb Raider at high settings at still maintain 60fps.  A 980m would definitely be able to handle it no problem.  I would recommend a G Sync display though just in case you get some dips every once in a while.
