Hi! I wanted to buy a budget gaming laptop at around ~800 USD (equivalent). Currently checking out a gigabyte 3060/11400@ 850$. Is this priced right? Shoukd I look for better deals? Also, what about gigabyte laptops, are they reliable? Should I buy it? What brands should I look for, if not?

Honestly if you're looking to go budget get second hand parts and build a desktop. I bought a desktop with a 2700x and 1050 ti for $400 AUD. I sold the 1050 ti bought a 5700xt and a 650w psu. Cost me about $700 AUD total. This can play all the latest games at 1080p medium to high settings no problem. That's about $450 USD.
