Need laptop to replace current desktop

[dbednorz]

Due to circumstances I have to completely replace my desktop with a laptop. I need the laptop to be at most $1200 and to close to the current desktop spec wise. Will be willing to buy the laptop from any reputable websites or stores in Houston,TX. Also prefer that it can connect and run a 144hz monitor 

Desktop:

Fx-8350

gtx 970

8 gb of ram

128 ssd

1TB HDD

if you can spend 1300$ then you can get a laptop with a 1060, if not then you would only get a laptop with a 1050ti, unless there is a sale.

I'd recommend something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Eluktronics-P650RP6-Premium-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B01LYOTO9B/ref=pd_lpo_147_tr_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=T8KJCRD1TBQACF9RZ2T9

 

The Clevo P650RP6 is a great machine, it has plenty of room to upgrade storage with 3 more drive slots and 4 total ram slots.  

 

Then you get a GTX 1060 which is even better than your desktop and a nicer cpu.  Just pick up a larger hard drive if you need.

 

@Dackzy A 1060 can be done within budget.

 

Also has a solid i/o selection.  Can 100% drive a 144Hz monitor or two.

yes when on sale (which I said), but remember now I live in Denmark, I don't follow sales in the US.

I just know that clevo 1060 laptops start around the 1300$ mark for a very basic version

Oh that's not on sale.  It's on "sale" like that 90+% of the time.  When it's really on sale it's $1050.
