Looks like a very capable machine. I had a 1060 6GB (the one in your new lappie is a 3GB, same chip but not as much texture memory/screen buffer ... 3GB is fine for 1080p though) in my home gaming machine until about 6 months ago, it's a NICE gaming gpu, esp. for a laptop.

You'll soon be Overwatching MAXED OUT with that sucker!

Grats ... don't be surprised if it's a bit heavy though, and probably a bit loud when gaming. I7 + 1060 needs a good amount of copper fins, and some beefy fans
