looking for a new laptop

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a new laptop, as my current macbook air 2012 is kinda shitty at everything, and I'm looking for a laptop (not mac) that would let me do some work done (3d modeling, animation, programming, etc) and some occasional gaming, I already did some research, but I want to get some input from people that maybe know a bit more about computers than I do.

 

My only requirement is a gtx 1060.

I have a budget of about 800 to 900 euro which converted to dollars are 900 to 1050 dollars

recommended websites to search for them on would be :

Amazon.fr

Amazon.de

topachat.com

Cdiscount.com

yup my bad, the weight I'd preffer it to be under 2.5kg, as for the battery life if it's between 5 and 10 hours while browsing the internet, I'm happy.

I have no real knowledge about sRGB screens (this current laptop is the first one I've ever had, and the next one is for my studies) so no real preferences over there

 

edit : if the weight is over 2.5kg it's fine, as long as its not too far up

sRGB - a type of colour coverage

 

Must have 1060? Cannot be 1050TI?
