If you already bought it, it might be a bit late for comments 
I would have strongly suggested trying to get a laptop with a GTX 1050 ti. e.g. the Optimus IX, or if that's too expensive the Vyper, or even the Optimus VIII with a GTX 1050 ti. Although the i5 7300HQ in the Optimus VIII isn't as good as the i5 8300H, that doesn't really matter because almost all games will have their performance limited far more by the GPU than the CPU.
A 17.3" Optimus VIII with a 1050 ti would be £60-70 less expensive than a Cosmos with a 1050, while offering ~30% better gaming performance.
Since you can't upgrade the GPU in a laptop you want to get the best GPU you can realistically afford - because once the GPU is too weak to play the future games you want at the settings you want, you need to buy a whole new system. Unlike a desktop PC where you can usually just swap out the graphics card.
