From a brief look at the site, I can see the cheapest unit has a 960M and the most expensive has a 970M. To improve the performance you'd get from the cheapest unit, you'd need to pay AT LEAST $429 (being the cheapest 970 on PCCG, not sure if you can use AMD on these units) on top of your already $1500+ laptop.
