I wanna buy a laptop for both Gaming and photo/video editing .. Can u help me choose between the Asus Rog strix GL503GE-EN041T ( specs - i7 8750H , 1Tb HDD 128gb SSD , 15.6 fhd 120hz TN panel , gtx 1050Ti , rgb backlit keyboard, thunderbolt 3 supported ) or the Acer predator Helios 300 ( i7 8750H , 1Tb hdd 128gb SSD , 15.6 fhd 60hz IPS panel , GTX 1050Ti , red backlit keyboard ) ..
the looks too matters alot nd I really like the Helios 300 ...
Cost of both is almost same.
I m really confused
1. if the 120hz TN panel is worth it over 60hz IPS panel.
And as I'll playing games like GTA 5 , assassin's Creed , witcher 3 ( nd occasional COD , CSGO , PUBG ) which I don't think will be hitting over 60fps at ultra ..
2. And if the thunderbolt 3 would be of some benefit as setting up an external graphic card in future would be very expensive .
3. I also wanna ask which screen is more color accurate nd bright and will be better for photo editing...
Thanks.

Go with the helios 300 with the ips panel. But make sure the monitor has full bit depth color. Ips will give you best color and viewing angle for photo editing. However the gaming will suffer because it is only 60hz, but casual gaming isn't a big deal.
