What's your budget? In any case, if you want to play on it for 5 years, then you'll need a t least an GTX 1070, so according to the link about 2600 AU$ minimum.

Avoid the i9, it's not worth it. The chip is overheating so much it's often beaten by an i7 in the same laptop case. Most laptops on the site come with a 8750H, and you're really all set with that one

Also, does it have to be a laptop? If you want longevity and gaming performance you're better off buying a desktop PC instead, will get you much cheaper and it can be upgraded along the way instead of having to buy an all new one again.

Yes i need a laptop for portability because of work.

Desktop is another beast for another life lol

 

Budget minimum $2500AUD.

Everything below that looked ok, but I wasn't comfortable with the GFX cards and CPUs in those looked underwhelming.

Most the laptops over $2500 seem to have either a  GTX 1070 or a RTX 2060 or RTX 2080. Here is were I am not sure on.

Then like I said, a GTX 1070 with an 8750H and 16GB RAM minimum should do the trick.

The RTX 2080 and the i9 don't seem worthwhile to me, way too much of an upprice for what they can do, so GTX 1070 or RTX 2060 would be the best choices.

The GTX comes with 8GiB VRAM while the RTX has only 6GiB, which can make the 1070 more future-proof, but is a little less performant. The 2070 also comes with 8GiB but is significantly more expensive than the 2060, so this might weight into your budget too much. If that's not a problem, then you can go with the 2070.
