I have a budget to choose between:
- i5 9300H with a GTX 1660ti (Asus ROG Strix G531GU)
- i7 9750H with GTX 1650      (Asus ROG Strix G531GT)

I am mainly playing games. I am a bit afraid of the i5 version because of some possible bottleneck.
What do you think? i5 9300H is good enough for 1660ti?

I am interested in Guild Wars 2, Witcher 3, and Cyberpunk 2077 later.

i would go for the i7 because then those 2 extra cores and the boost in clock speed and you might be correct in the cpu bottleneck

Thats the only 9 gen laptop what I can get here.

Do you think G531 is a bad design?

For gaming, 4c/8t has yet to be an issue.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
