My budget is 800$ and I'm looking for Gaming laptop

Hello, I'm looking for a laptop with an i5 and either a gtx 1050TI or a gtx 1060 

For gaming and some light video editing, for around 800$.

Any ideas?

Location: Vietnam, but I'm going to America in a couple of weeks so I'll probably get it there.

 

I don't really have any preference when it comes to weight as long as the laptop is adequately cooled and well speced (for the price). The same goes for battery life as long as it's over 3 hours it's ok.

The acer nitro 5 has tremendous thermal trolling issues and the processor compared to other laptops around that price range is very weak.

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-GS63VR-6RF-15-6-FHD-i7-6700HQ-3-5GHz-1TB-HDD-128GB-SSD-GTX1060-16GB-Mem/173491302186?hash=item2864e32f2a:g:7j0AAOSwgYBbV6Zh

 

This GS63 boots off straight an sata ssd  ( 128 gb ) and a 1 tb 7200rpm hard drive for mass storage which makes that sweet spot. In terms of performance in general, its vr ready for starters and since your doing video editing and ram is a must this laptop has 16 gbs of it. Because of that i7 it supports hyper threading and bases around 3.5 ghz and is a "HQ" processor not a shitty "U" processor and his easily upgradeable, IO is surprising well considering price point and this day and age for "thin and lights" so it houses 3x USB 3.0 ports a fucking thunderbolt 3 for fucks sake, sd card reader, 3.5 mm aux jack, Mini DisplayPort and a HDMI 2.0 port.

 

My current code projects

--------------------------------

  • C#/OpenGL ( using OpenTK graphics library API ) KnightsRealm ( unfinished, WIP plan on releasing on steam maybe a mobile port idk ) 2d topdown pixel art based game with medieval themes, sorcery, dragons, open world
  • C++ crypter ( if your into cryptography, I plan on releasing this on my website later :P
  • C#/OpenGL ( OpenGL for UI ) fan/light controller for my room w/ raspberry pi and some mechanical motors and stuff :D


Current repair projects

------------------------------

  • My dreadful receiver ( a capacitor blew ) 
  • working on a PC from a client, CPU died within the system, seems like a short, replaced CPU and awaiting payment before I ship it back 
  • my old 1tb sas drive for my NAS, some blemishes or something on the PCB need to clear that back out, if it doesn't work i'll need to scrap it ( already backed up all my stuff thankfully )

    If you want any software made, or stuff to be repaired give me an email!

MSI GV62 has OKish build quality and display but has OK-good cooling. Dell G3, Acer Nitro 5 and HP Pavilion Gaming need repaste due to OK-mediocre cooling

 

If you're buying from US you can also look into Eluctronics NB50, CyberpowerPC Tracer III, Lenovo Legion Y530, HP Omen dc
