16 ram vs 8gb ram for a gaming laptop

[o.fouad2678]

so i want to buy a laptop should i aim at a long-term of 8gb of ram or 16 gb specially because how when u need to upgrade u have to buy a whole bunch of new 16 gb ram.....so will a 16gb with a gtx1050 (4gb) and and i7-7700hq with one 1tb drive with a 128 ssd
ps:i will use it for gaming and might use it in the future for some CAD.

Can you list the price of above choices and budget?
In general, getting 16gb is better since win10 eats a large chunk of ram already.

 

[o.fouad2678]

you know what lets say i only decide to game on the laptop and use very light cad will the extra 8gb of ram still be worth it

i just dont want to waste money on something i wont use and maybe use the money to get better chassis build quality/screen quality btw what do u think of the fx503vd vs the acer nitro 5 i read in a review that the acer has kind of weak hinges and i feel that the asus fx503vd seems like it have a much stronger chasis and a cool more formally looking design but sadly both screens are tn so arent dat good but they r bright atleast not like most budget gaming laptops with a very low brightness well its the sacrifice for the good gaming power without making u get broken. the ones i am kind of between are the acer nitro 5 AN515-51-75SR which costs here in saudi arabia about $1080 ,it just says it has dual built-in speakers but it has a usb-c that the other laptop doesnt have and the asus fx503vd-dm106t is for $1120 with ICEpower audio. and my budget is around $1200

I will suggest saving more and get 1060 laptop if you play AAA games.

well i do play cod and battlefield on ps4 and want to start getting into pc gaming i get ur advice vapor ik that there some studf that dont really work on the 1050 but its budget and i didnt save much and my dad will be paying like half the laptop’s price and he’s no way gonna approve of me getting a $1250 laptop i guess a 1050(4gb) will get me a good gaming experience and ik not the best but its the circmustances and u have to roll with what u have

 

[o.fouad2678]

btw i just got this laptop recommended by an xoptic chat assistant http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-fx73ve-wh71.html. it has everything great even the screen is 72% NTSC and its 300 nits its like the first laptop with great specs plus great screen (ik not ips but still it seems good) and will add to it a 256gb ssd from the site and i think this will keep me rolling and btw do u think a 17.3’’ is portable enough to carry it with u to uni in a bag like i think like if it stays in a bag and i only gey it out in uni put it on desk thats good for a 17.3’’ right and do u know if xoptipc is reliable it seems popular as i see

 

[o.fouad2678]

it seems like i am going to ship internationally as all the gaming laptops here in saudia arabia have a 1050 not even a ti with not that good screens its like they r expensive for nothing

 

[o.fouad2678]

god i really envy people living in the us they tons of shops providing dope gaming laptops and here u rarerly find one or 2 shops that have not even medium quality gaming laptops and they’re over priced laptops

and

which should i get they are both of price $1250 but the asus astrix hero gl503vd with an 100%sRGP and 72% NSTC screen and the fx503vm is an ips like screen.but the fx503vm has a 1060 (3gb) and the gl503vd a 1050?(4gb) ik the gl503vd has a very good screen and it has also RGB keyboard but like a 1060(3gb) vs a 1050 (4gb) i think i should go for the fx503vd one 1060 one right ? and like about the screen i can maybe later get a good external monitor plus an rgb keyboard if i want...like what is left from me is to see which one is better cooled some rev said if u make the cpu to bec 99% instead of 100% it doesnt go into boost mode so u get less heat and that it need a cooling pad probably will get that when i start heavy gaming.

 

[o.fouad2678]

so i saw online the difference between between a 1060 (3gb) and a 1050 (4gb) well then hell no 3gb is worth choosing over the gl503vd screen

depends on games you want to play

 

[o.fouad2678]

ik the problem is that idk i am into COD and PUBG and heavly modded minecraft and battlefield and these games are heavy games so i think a 1060 will be a wise future backup for most upcoming games
