Considering a laptop for home use and for travelling with but on a strict budget.
Ideally no more than £500 new and preferably less used with at least a GTX960 in it so it'll last me a year or two.
SSD would be nice but if it comes without I'll change it anyway so if having a mech is cheaper to purchase for now so be it.
I've looked at some dell precisions with interest and the odd lenovo. Alienware and Asus seem to be extortionately expensive yet massively powerful so well out of budget.
Any ideas guys?
You may struggle to find something good at that budget - certainly new stuff is usually more expensive so far as I am aware, so probably 2nd hand is your best bet, and 2nd hand always comes with some extra risk.
