Just no.
Abandon this plan right now. Every fkin year we get this post on here. Go to actual classes & find out what is actually required then go buy the laptop to meet the requirements of the course.
Keep the gaming part separate in your mind. A good varsity laptop is going to make a sht gaming laptop and vice versa anyway. Its like asking for a ferrari that can do off-road well.
Varsity matters more in the long run - buy accordingly. If you do well @ varsity you'll have enough money to buy a wicked gaming rig soon enough.

I have a Lenovo Y5070 with the IPS display, good laptop, just replace the HDD as it is extremely slow.
Don't think you need an extremely powerful laptop for civil engineering, rather spend it on a desktop at home, it's cheaper/will be more powerful.

I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 gaming laptop about 3 years ago. Still works great except for the battery which now last about 2 - 2.5 hours.
If you can get someone to buy the laptop through their company, you could get a better deal. What I did 3 years ago, I got a quote through my company but the Lenovo agent was not up to par (extremely slow service) so I phone one of the pc shops and told them what I could get it for which was 1k cheaper than their advertised price and asked them if they would sell it to me for the same price and they said yes (after doing some checks and stuff).
