I got myself a MSI laptop last christmas for 900€, with an i5-4210h and a GTX 970m, was not disappointed. MSI would be the go to for high end gaming laptop if you don't want to pay 300 more bucks for an Asus ROG.
For 1k you might want to not care yet about 16gb ram and a SSD and upgrade later, all you need is a screwdriver, it's really easy to change these and shouldn't break the warranty.
