Gaming Laptop for 1k?

Is this laptop good enough for the latest games?

Not necessary to run at ultra settings, just hit the 60fps.

Games like Cod WWII, CsGo...

 

Acer Predator Helios 300

I think is really good for being only 1000 bucks.

 

Not for me. Just a casual gamer who wants to have 60fps.

Yes it's a good budget gaming laptop with a powerful GTX 1060, though undervolting is highly recommended

reduce temps and noise (reduce heat), reduce power (slightly longer battery life)
no performance loss
