Before anyone says below about how bad they're in comparison to Gaming PC's, as much as I would want to build a PC, I don't have the space for one + the laptop is going to be used for College work as well as gaming now and again.

These are the specifications of the laptop I've built below via PCSpecialist. Any recommendations or any alterantive laptops to get please post below Thanks

PS: This build cost comes to £817 (Looking to keep the cost down as much as possible but willing to spend up to £950).

Don't expect anything high it will not sport well in any config to be fair with you since it is a thin factor laptop. get the 4GB model of the 1050 and add a M.2 SSD if you can, it will help in some cases. Not to the entirety of gaming, but some cases. Go ahead and add the arctic thermal compound better then stock at least.
