What would work for about £700 - some gaming and editing?

[Martyrich2]

£659

Refurbished Asus FX553 Core I5-7300HQ 8GB 1TB + 128GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 15.6 Inch Windows 10 Gaming Laptop

Is this the best I could do for £700?
I am worried it may be heavy with an optical drive inside - but is this the limit of what I can get for power at this price?
I am opening it up to experts because I am not one

I'd remove the link and just put the model number and price. Linking to/mentioning competitors is against the forum rules mate.
