    I am going to make the purchase this week and one last thing has been bugging me. Some advice from guys with first hand experience will be very much appreciated. Is the i7 6700hq a good pair up with the GTX 1070 or will I better off with a i7 6820hk? See I'm seriously thinking about the life of the laptop in the long run. Sure the 6820hk can be overclocked but that will cause the machine to run even hotter (correct me if I'm wrong) thus shortening lifespan and other more annoying ****. While I'm not that interested in overclocking the cpu, I am definitely interested and willing try undervolting (currently researching) to reduce temps. So I'm kinda torn. How are these cpus performance wise (bottlenecks, etc)? Is a 6820hk worth it even though I most like won't overclock?
