Hello readers! This is my first time writing in the forum and I'm simply looking for some community advice. I have spoken to someone from PC Specialist already about a couple of things, but I'm curious to see what people think of my laptop configuration: my own 15.6" Recoil III GTX.
Let me know if you think I could get a little more for my money here, or even if I could save a little. My budget is £1000 - £1100, but the closer to the former, the better. I plan on waiting until November 18th to buy, as I understand PC Specialist will be rolling out Black Friday deals from that date. I already have £70 off with a promotion; I think it's worth the wait nonetheless.
I should also mention that, after extensive research, this is my first time configuring my own setup.
I plan on using the laptop for mid/high-tier gaming (involving modding), with a couple of VR games in a year or two, as well as music production and video-editing.
