  1. Went for this in the end! MSI G73 Leopard 8RE It is awesome, the screen is something else - possibly the best black levels in an LED panel I have ever seen! 120hz is such a nice 'thing' too.
  2. Yes, yes I do - I need to take it with me and I want to play games on it. From every video I've watched, the I7-7700HQ and GTX 1060 6GB combo, can play EVERY game at max settings at 60fps (1080p) If I have to turn the settings down, I don't really care - as long as it is fluid. There is no point me having a Desktop and a Laptop. Besides, If I NEED to have a bit more firepower, there is always the Alienware 'Graphics Amplifier'
  3. Two reasons, I've started travelling a lot in the band I'm in, staying in hotels are boring and I want to save some space at home.
  4. Just a quick update - I'm swapping my rig (i5 4670k, 8GB DDR3 2133, GTX1080, EK A240G watercooled (GPU & CPU) AOC Ultrawaide monitor, Razer Anansi keyboard, Razer Deathadder mouse, 256 Kingston HyperX SSD, Toshiba 1TB HDD) for an Alienware 15 (i7-7700HQ, GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB DDR4, G-Sync display) I reckon this is a great swap deal? Plus, the Alienware smashes my £1000 budget.
  5. Similar pricing to PC world if I'm honest - maybe like £30 more expensive, but as it is up the road, it's easy for RMA etc. I'll shift my current desktop first then see what my budget is, at the moment it looks like it'll be the ASUS one with the 6GB GTX 1060 I like the looks of it too, so that's a bonus! It may be seen as a 'budget' laptop, but spec wise looks bang on for what I want it to do.
  6. I would if it's a reputable supplier, where would you recommend?
  7. So it'll be better for me to chuck another £200 at this? MSI GP73 Leopard 8RE
  8. It looks like the 7300hq is pretty much the same as my i5 4670k - which I am absolutely fine about Although, my i5 4670k is under water and running 4.6ghz I fully understand I will be loosing performance, but I'm not too bothered about maximum settings or THE latest or fastest. If I can play the games I play at 60fps, on medium high settings - I'm a happy man.
  9. My current i5 4670K # of Cores 4 # of Threads 4 Processor Base Frequency 3.40 GHz Max Turbo Frequency 3.80 GHz Even the 7700hq is better.
  10. I'm currently running an i5 4670k, so even the 7th gen is a massive step up for me. Out of the two listed, what would you go for? Sticking with PC world, as they have a store down the road from me, so easy RMA if I have issues.
  11. I've linked, click on them I think I'm secretly asking - Does the 3GB 1060 perform the same as the 6GB 1060?
  12. I'm new here, so ... hello! So, I've got my system up for sale at the moment as I've started travelling a lot (in a rock group) it's an i5 4670k, 8GB DDR3, GTX 1080 etc - A pretty neat system, runs everything I do at 2560x1080 60fps I've narrowed it down to two brands of laptops for around the £1000 price point - Simply, which one would you recommend? ASUS ROG Strix Hero - i5-7300HQ - 8GB DDR4 (2400 MHz) - GTX 1060 6GB - 1TB HDD 5400RPM - 128GB SSD M.2 -OR- MSI GE62VR - i7-7700HQ - 16GB DDR4 (2400 MHz) - GTX 1060 3GB - 1TB HDD 7200 rpm - 128GB SSD M.2 If only the MSI had the full-fat GTX 1060, then (to me) the choice would be a lot easier! What would you choose? I will be playing a wide range of games, from PUBG to Vanilla WoW 1.12.1 lol
