I've decided to buy a laptop that costs around 1000-1200 usd, in the end I came up with two choices that is, the predator helios 300, with i7-7700HQ, 256gb ssd gtx 1060 6gb and 16gb ram.(price: $1049)
The other is asus rog strix Scar with i7-8750H, 16gb ram, 128gb ssd, 1050ti and 1tb hdd. (Price: $1269).
Which one should I opt for.
Cause I stream sometimes and edit my own videos for youtube.

Both 15.6'' FHD I assume.

If you can splash the extra $200, the Asus seems better, mostly because it has a newer processor and extra internal storage for your edits.

However, if you already own external storage solutions (drives, clouds etc) I would keep the extra $200 and go for the Helios (assuming it has a similar dedicated GPU). The i7-7770HQ is still a great CPU even though it is "older."
