I plan to buy the Acer Predator Helios 300 

-Intel Core I7-7700HQ 

-GTX 1060 6GB

-16GB DDR4 RAM

-1TB HDD + 128GB SSD 

 

all the specs https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/predator-model/NH.Q2BAA.004 

is it enough to play AAA Games like(assassin's creed origins-FFXV-middle earth shadow of war)

Can it handle twitch streaming at 1080P/30FPS or 720P/60FPS ?

Not for asscreed, as that will eat your CPU. But other less cpu intense games might be possible. 

If you really want to stream games you should either look for an Ryzen Laptop or get a ryzen desktop PC.

I would never recommend a laptop to stream with and game on as you will have thermal problems which will end up with dropped frames and stuttering etc..

The only thing is the h60s does not have does not have H.264 ENCODER on it. Witch will help you to stream to twitch better. Why not have have look h60 you not losing anything just usb 3.0 witch is not relay going make difference they both top out at the same transfer rate.

I would suggest getting a N950TP6 with i7 8700 and GTX 1060. Repaste is needed, deliding is a plus. Depending on your location, Hidevolution can do these for you for free.
