Which game?
May 3, 2019 10:16AM PDT

My son has been using and still uses a Asus ROG with the usual i7 and 960m GPU. This was bought January 1, 2016 and is still used daily. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01578ZKPO

I suggest something along the same lines but with the newer 1060 GPU and similar specs.

But what game might matter.
