Erm, you should look for the same DIMM or a DIMM from another brand with the same CAS latencies and speed. Otherwise it'll be a mess.

For real, nice job showing every bit of info you could pick up. It indeed is a 2666MHz module. If you don't mind i'll select Shady42's answer as the best one :)

If the manufacturer says it's 2666 and CPU-Z reports the same, then get 2666. Using 2400 and 2666 will downclock the 2666 module so you won't notice much but for gaming, 1/2 FPS can make the difference between 50-ish and a stable 60.

If battery is a must, the Dell has a good performance. But if performance, gaming, and other things are something that you like, the 8300H is going to be amazing. I personally have a Lenovo G50-80 and cannot complain, although it's old, has a 5th gen i3 U, and a Radeon R5 M330. Battery life is...

Use AMD AutoDetect to check the best driver for your GPU. Might or not fix it.

I have a classmate that has a ThinkPad but it's fine. One of my friends has a Y520 and returned it because it ran at 85ºC at full load.

I know I got best answer, but if you don't need portability (you didn't specify) I'd probably save my money and get a desktop.

Lenovo gaming laptops have cooling issues. So that's outta the equation. The HP laptop is good but if it was me id choose a Omen gaming laptop. Get either a MSI GL62M 7RDX/7REX or a Acer Nitro AN15 with an i5-7300HQ, GTX 1050 4GB, 8GB RAM, a 128GB SSD and 1TB storage. Also the screen is FHD...

Well, I haven't but I know some people that do use it. If the heat is a issue, grab a single sided M.2 SSD. Single Sided M.2 SSDs have the NAND, DRAM and controllers in one side only to prevent heat issues.

Yeah grab a M.2 NVMe drive. There are a lot of budget drives, but I recommend the Samsung 960 EVO if you can afford it. There are lots of space options and it has faster speeds than a tradicional drive. Hope I helped!

Look that laptop is really cheap (around 1200/1300EUR with the i7, and if you spend an extra 100EUR you can get an i7 7700 and a GTX1060 6GB.) Hope I helped.

Well they don't ship to Europe but I think you can snag a Eluktronics W650KK1 with a desktop LGA1151 i7 7700 and a GTX 1050Ti. Otherwise I'll look into more choices. If you can point out where you live it would be cool to check local e-tailers. Hope I helped. Peace.

What is your CPU? You can get a eGPU with an adapter, a GPU (IDK what your CPU is but a 1050ti should work and another power brick and cord to power the GPU separately. So you might need to grab a 200w Power brick. IDK if there's any power brick with that much watts but considering there are...
