Im from Denmark so choosing a laptop is a little difficult cause its expensive. Im pretty sure i've narrowed it down to two options. 

 

Lenovo Legion Y520 - 1060 - i5

ASUS FX553VE - 1050 Ti - i7

I have the money for both of them so dont worry about price and exchange rate.

Asus FX has slightly worse build quality compared to Lenovo Y520 IMO

The screen is also IPS. So basically by going for the Y520 i am losing 256 GB SSD and the i7 for the i5. Although the CPU is not that important since the i5 wont bottleneck anyway. But if i go for the ASUS i will get a shittier TN display and a worse gpu.

1060 MaxQs are pretty damn close to 1060s mostly because a) 1060s are shit normally compared what they can be in a proper laptop (2000mhz in custom clevos), b) good 1050ti laptops can handle 1060s without much issue (they should put a 1060 in the Dell 7567).
