Get a 770 or 780 and save your self a lottttt of money. Both of these cards are way faster for anything game related (realtime shaders, unreal 4 or marmoset toolbag), and will run Max etc just fine. Also don't get a Titan, anything past a 780 represents a really poor value (unless you do a lot of CUDA stuff or something).…

How important are size and weight? IMO a good laptop should be as portable as possible, otherwise what is the point? The Alienware 17 mentioned above is over 9 pounds, you can build a desktop workstation that doesn't weigh much more than that.
