Hi,

I'm a YouTuber and it's pretty much my full time job but I have to head out the country for a month and therefore need a laptop!

I would use the laptop for playing video games, I have a GTX 980 at home and then something to edit/render videos with sony vegas in a reasonable time.

Please could you guys give me some suggestions, I'm not too good when it comes to the hardware side of computers!

My budget is roughly £2000

I just thought I would first say you must make a lot of money to have youtube as a fulltime job, and for that you are lucky lol.

As to laptop I would recommend going for something with a Gtx 1070 in it. That will be enough to play all your games and if your software supports nvidia gpus for rendering should make it way faster.

I am not sure what the good companies are in europe as far as gaming laptops. So you will have to research it.

Here is a list with GTX 1070 and 1080 graphics cards:

IMO we have very similar needs when looking for a laptop, thus this list should help you find a decent one.
