Hi,
I am thinking to purchase a laptop for my father. It's HP pavilion 15 au113tx. It has an Intel i7-7200u, Nvidia Geforce GTX 940mx with 16 gigs of ram and 2 TB of hard drive. My father plays World of Tanks, SWTOR, WOW and several other games. Will this laptop be able to last at least 5 years while playing games at medium-high quality? My dad travels a lot, that's why I am thinking to get a laptop. Thanks!

If portability is not a requierement, I don't know why you wanted a laptop in first place

Go for a desktop computer what you are looking at is too much, an H110 mobo plus a core i3 or core i5 will be enough

For GPU I don't recommend anything below Rx 460

the Rx 460 is $100-110 and I'd look forward the GTX 1050 for the same price or even a 1050 ti
