I was thinking about the omen this one in particular. HP OMEN 17t Premium Gaming and Business Laptop (Intel 8th Gen Coffee Lake i7-8750H, 32GB RAM, 2TB HDD + 1TB PCIe SSD, 17.3" FHD (1920x1080) G-SYNC, GTX 1070, Thunderbolt 3, Win 10 Home) VR Ready  

its on amazon for 2,549.00 usd. 

there was this one as well which is cheaper

or is there a different laptop I should be looking at? my budget is about $2500 , I do like the slim but not really a big factor. just want the best gaming experience possible for a good price . I will be mainly playing overwatch. 

I also found this one

This laptop allows for an additional m.2 storage upgrade as well, I might pick it up and grab a 2TB NVME SSD (NO CLUNKY HARD DRIVE YAY!!!) for around 500$, that puts you at 32 GB ram, 2.5 TB of SSD Storage, GTX 1070 8GB only thing missing in this laptop is G sync... that puts you right at 2500$ If G Sync is a big thing for you then don't go with this one.

By the way, Keyboard and battery life is pretty good on this laptop too, it's also not ultra gamered out so you can use it in public without getting too many funny looks ;)

I think you'd be able to run this on an external monitor that uses G Sync in the future as well, If you were interested in that, that way you'd still be able to game at home with buttery smooth Gsync. I could be wrong though, I'd look into that If you were interested :)

the msi looks really good! the only thing is what you said the gsync and also the screen  being LCD, not sure if that will affect the visuals
