CoD isn't going to happen well I don't think.

To be honest for that money you could get this: http://www.dell.com/uk/p/alienware-m15x/pd?oc=n00w1503&variant=3:254756~6:455377~8:469542~11:597177~16:301241~146:426097~760:301233&model_id=alienware-m15x

It will do everything you want and with an SSD would increase performance on the boot time and basic tasks. Getting an SSD is a big improvement.

Any upgrades you would recommend? Processor maybe?

Depends on your budget, the next processor up would deliver a big improvement but its 400 pounds there which takes it over your 1400 Euro budget. Upgrading the Ram one step will give you a cheaper improvement.

hmm the only one i found was the asus g73.. there are many different types of the asus g73.. different designs aswell as gfx card (some with ati, some with nvidia).. some with blu-ray and some without.

Just check them on google. I found one g73 edition which was completely black (so it didnt look that much like a gaming notebook) with 6gb-8gb ram, i7, blu-ray, some rly nice nvidia gfx card, 2 hdd slots (2x 500gb sata) and ofc 17" with 1920x1080.

maybe you could ask the dell support if there is an extra slot available in some of there notebooks.. but i guess not :S

Quadro series are meant for professional workstations, delivering great performance in CAD and DCC applications such as SolidWorks, 3ds Max, AutoCAD, and many more, they are not meant for gaming.
6 cell battery is a joke, i7 is a joke too, unless you like scrambling eggs on your laptop.

The 1920x1080 screen on XPS15 is one of the best you can get apparently but I haven't been able to compare.
