Help with laptop purchase appreciated

[Friskyfeo]

So im thinking of buying this machine to last me around 3 years ( http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/MSI-GT80-Titan-SLI-Gaming-Laptop )

Is there any reason for me to wait for Pascal and see what they have to offer or will this last me the time im looking to get out of it for gaming and maybe future streaming and VR purposes?

Pascal isnt due out for a while about 2 more months at the earliest, and mobile chips early to mid 2017 so i wouldnt wait.

Nice chose but that 8 gb ram might be not enough later on. For pascal you will need to wait to end of 2017.

Yeah you're good for now. Maybe even the three full years, but you're definitely good for now.
