    I bought an AW15 off my cousin, he had it for a couple months but wants the 13 oled.

    So I paid $1300 for a i7 gtx1070 16GB model, but its only 60hz which will bottle neck the GPU.

    Should I change the screen or just buy an external?

    eh, i try to stay away from dealing with family directly. Too easy for someone to get their feelings hurt, and get cross ways with you. May not be your fault even.
    1300 I would say is a pretty decent price for what you described. 1500 I think is too much, but not completely unreasonable.
