New gaming laptop recommendations

I am looking to buy a new entry/mid gaming laptop. Whatever I buy will be 1000% better than what I currently have. I need to buy it from amazon and think that a renewed might get me the best bang for my buck.
I am thinking about the three models below. One is an HP Omen, one is a Dell G and the other is a Acer Nitro.
The HP Omen is a OMEN by HP 15-inch Gaming Laptop, FHD IPS Display, Intel i5-8300H 2.30GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB, 12GB RAM, 1TB SATA, Win10H, 15-dc0010nr
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K367JW9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1XBPHGHAXLHDG&psc=1
The HP G is Dell G3579-5467BLK-PUS 15.6" Gaming Laptop, i5-8300H 2.3GHz, 8GB, 1TB, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, Windows 10
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-G3579-5467BLK-PUS-i5-8300H-GeForce-Windows/dp/B07R1ZS8W2/ref=sr_1_56?keywords=gaming+laptop+renewed&qid=1579535733&s=electronics&sr=1-56
And the Acer is
2019 Acer Nitro 5 15.6" FHD Gaming Laptop - Quad-core Intel i5-8300H, 12GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB GDDR5, 256GB PCIe SSD, Backlit KBD, Shale Black
https://www.amazon.com/2019-Acer-Nitro-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B07Z8B6B1B/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=gaming+laptop+renewed+acer+nitro&qid=1579537841&s=electronics&sr=1-11&th=1
The games I would be looking to play are things like City Skylines, Tropico 6, Civ 6, Two Point Hospital etc.
I also use the computer for some graphics work in Illustrator and Photoshop. It does really need to be a laptop vs an desktop so that is limiting and I know just a little about laptops and there specs so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

I went ahead a ordered the Lenovo that you recommended.  Thank you so much.  For some reason I didn't pay any attention to the Lenovo brand in my search.

I use the Lenovo Legion y540, I highly suggest it, great price and great laptop.
I also have the Leigion y510 which isn't terrible if you want to get an older version.
