Hey guys,
So after 4 years I deceid to replace my old samsung notebook with something more "beastly".I currently have my eyes on the ASUS ROG 702,
with a gtx1070 with Gsync,
16g of RAM,
120 Hz monitor
and a i7 7700HQ for around 1900 $.
I (correct me if I'm a bit too optimistic) expect my laptop to support most games on high settings for at least 2 years and on moderate for 3 years. But then I heard about the release of the new 8th generation processors that are expected to be much more powerful then current generation. So, my question is, should I wait for a laptop with the new i7 or just go with the current one?

PS:
I just found an interesting deal for the ASUS ROG 702 which has a AMD Ryzen 7 1700 and AMD Radeon RX580 4GB GDDR5, FreeSync. It is 200$ cheeaper but not sure if the GPU is good enough for what I need.

Click link below for game benchmarks with the Ryzen 7 1700 and Radeon RX580. Overall, it seems to be a little less powerful than a GTX 1060.

You can compare those benchmarks to GTX 1070 result. Some game will have multiple benchmarks because the benchmarks are for specific laptop model which various Core i7 CPUs.

As for if either GPUs will last you 2 year on
