A laptop, i7-4700mq, gtx 780m (user upgradeable to sli), 8gb 1600mhz kingston ram, 1TB HDD, 1080p etc... If it help's you, here's the link... http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/VortexIV-15/...

Would this be able to play, say BF4, or watchdogs maxed out, full AA etc. at 30-60fps? I don't play at those settings, but it's always nice to know that they're available, and I have the money to go for it, seeing as I just got my bonus ;)

Maxed out full AA? Maybe during mild situations, but generally it would be better at either Ultra w/ less AA, or at High w/ maxed AA. You probably knew this, but that computer is ready for the next gen as much as 80 percent of gaming desktops are. The graphics are comparable to a 660 ti in...

The graphics are comparable to a 660 ti in performance, so don't expect the best around, but expect good enough for a couple of years.

This may or may not be helpful to your situation but if you're planning on some high power gaming then a desktop is much better every time, and with that money you could quite easily get a mid/high end gaming PC that will last for years and play everything maxed out comfortably. Hope this helps :)
 
In a laptop setting graphic cards normally are a bit behind. SO when you are looking at a 780 you may actually be looking at a 760 or just above it really. Will it handle BF4 yes it will why because the engine isn't changing much from BF3. Will it play Watchdogs probably yes. I would say 30-60 frames seems obtainable with that however even if you can't you could always scale back a little on the AA and be fine. Although to be fair its very hard to tell what will be good for next gen with next gen is a little ways off.
