Hey folks, been a good couple of years since I've been on here. Basically replacing my girlfriend's old gaming laptop with a 675M, as it bluescreens very often, is just plain old, noisy and overheats a lot. I've actually already ordered this spec but awaiting the parts which should be due in on the 28th so just wanted to put this up and see what people think. Any suggestions/changes or even an A-OK would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Laptop will be mainly for gaming and just general everyday use. There's not really a great deal of options for laptops anyway so it's more if the 1070 is worth the upgrade over the 1060, and perhaps choice of SSD?
