I was thinking about getting the Aorus X3 V6 with a gtx 1060 but can it handle 3k gaming at Medium for GTA 5 and BF1 and High for WoT and WT or should I just get a Razer blade or a strix

I went a bit over, but only because I found a fantastic Sennheiser headset at a great price.

No, it won't handle anywhere near that resolution, you'd need a 1080.
Any reason in particular you're going with a gaming laptop?
A desktop is much better value and will perform heaps better for the same price.
Would you like me to put together a build?
What's your budget?

Top of the line, here you go. :)
I forgot to ask, do you need peripherals, a headset or a high refresh rate monitor?
I can edit it.
