1. Acer Predator Helios 300
Specs:
15.6" Screen
Intel i7
16GB RAM
256GB SSD
GTX 1060
700$

2. Alienware R3
Specs:
17" Screen
Intel i7
16GB RAM
1024GB SSD
GTX 970M
650$

I just need something that can run Minecraft, Arma 3, GTAV,
And probably some other similar games.
(I'm going with a laptop because I like them better and I'm confined by space)

acer is better cus 970m is a mobile gpu which is cut down 1060 in the acer is a full gpu well damn near close to it laptops will always thermal throttle unless you keep them super well ventilated on a cooling pad and even then the things charge up like they are gonna take off into space

700 bones for a 1060 aint bad at all but tbh arma runs like liquid asshole so dont expect anything higher than 30 fps 90% of the time everything else should run perfect at 1080p

You are honestly better waiting and saving more money. GTA 5 I have it on a full 970 with 16Gb of ram and it is lucky to run at 60 FPS on low settings.

ur pc prolly got coronavirus bud no reason a 4 TFLOP gpu should be hitting only 60 fps on low prolly got vsync on or bonzaibuddy


edit: I spent $1250 on my laptop 2 years ago and it has a 1060 in it and runs every game fantastic 60 maxed if not near to it 700 bones for a 1060 and i7 is a good deal now matter how u slice the pie

Hey guys just an update, the gentleman with the Asus Predator decided not to sell, so I went the R3. I have to say I am not disappointed in the slightest. Runs GTAV on normal settings at 70fps (I don't need super fancy ultra graphics) and all in all I'm very happy with it! I also talked him down to 500$!
