I bought a ledger and I'm quite happy with it. No issues so far.
I bought myself a new gaming laptop last year.
16gb ram and geforce 1060. Maybe similar like yours?

Like you I'm a casual gamer. I usually play games that are at least a few years old. I still have to play GTA 5. :)

Oh yea, I think there will be discounts during Halloween. I'm waiting on that period because there will be a big Steam sale.
