Plus, Warface works super great on this PC (high settings). Having some fun on that game, at the moment.
Damn I want to play games on high settings and 60 fps for once! :laugh:

Oh and, if you are going to get this PC, note that it does not come with a CD drive. I'd recommend this link down below.

Yeah, I am mostly satisfied with it. I had to do a bunch of hardware updates and changes to resolve some sound issues. In contrast, the looks of this Dell 7559 are still to this day very nice.
If I had the choice I would have definitely gotten the i7-6700hq instead of the i5-6300hq. Also, the GTX 960m is really showing age especially with newer titles. There are several (very) newer laptops now with an upgraded graphic card (1050 & ti version) which I would recommend if you are on a budget. Plus these laptops that have the 1050ti more often than not have a very nice processor upgrades than before (i5-7300hq & i7-7700hq).
If was to buy a laptop again, ideally it would be the GTX 1060, because it is a sweet spot if you're gaming on 1080p. The stock laptops that have this are a bit more pricey than the 1050ti models, but definitely worth it IMO.
Cheers!

I just found this:
ASUS FX502VM-AH51 Gaming Laptop Intel Core i5 6th Gen 6300HQ (2.30 GHz) 16 GB Memory 1 TB HDD GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB GDDR5 15.6" Full HD 1920 x 1080 Windows 10 Home 64-Bit-Newegg.com
It has a GTX 1060 (3gb Vram), 16gb RAM, and now is selling for just $999! Some of the negatives I see is that, the screen might get a little washed if you look at it in different angles (hence, no IPS panel) and second, it just has an i5 processor. I think it comes with an M.2 SSD slot, so that's cool.
Despite the i5, combined with GTX 1060, it can easily run games like Battlefield 1 on high-ultra 60+ frames in 1080p (I think even on "just" high, you can get 100 frames...). So if you're a gamer you wants some solid performance, look no further.

Oh wait, there is an I7 version of this and added SSD:
ASUS 15.6" FX502VM-AS73 Quad Core Intel Core i7 7th Gen 7700HQ (2.80 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 16 GB DDR4 Memory 128 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop-Newegg.com
It's still pretty cheap compared to the rest of the 1060 ones. Still no IPS display, I'm afraid.
Though the i5 is probably perfectly fine, at least for gaming. It just crushes the 960m, in comparison.

Yeah, for a laptop with a GTX 1060M, a 2.80 GHz i7, and an SSD, still a pretty amazing price!

It just dropped an additional $20!

Man, I'm kinda hoping my PC dies soon. I hate to think that, but honestly I am. Help!

Damn xD I still think that rig for that price seems too good to be true...

I would as well, just for the i7... the SSD is certainly an added bonus though. Games like Arma or Squad that I play put a lot of emphasis on the processor, so it's well worth the extra dough IMO.

I'm curious though, the PC buffs out there, how much of a difference would the i7 vs i5 be in terms of gaming?
On my Dell 7559 + i5-6300hq + 960m, I've noticed games like Miscreated, I have a 100% cpu load in my task manager even on low settings (but 50-60 frames, regardless)... I get fps drops every minute or so. Is this the cpu or gpu struggling? Thanks.
This is why I'm so intent on getting the best possible, I guess (the i7+SSD model).
