ooo... sorry then for my ignorance, i just go the idea when updating geforce experience, the ads say they have 10 series for laptop, so im assuming i can change my GPU (sorry for typing vga). So unless my laptop is top gaming laptop, i guess i cant swap the GPU right?
nice spec u have there by the way^^

The newer cards don't have seperate mobile versions however you are right in that you can't typically just come along and cram them in an older laptop chassis

nice game collection btw^^

If you mean an external GPU, it costs as much as buying a cheap desktop or new laptop with the required setup, plus it needs a separate monitor and a wall socket.
As for the dedicated GPU in your laptop, that is soldered in (usually similarly like this), so you cannot change it.

Yeah, the 10-series for laptops is out. Meaning you need to buy a new laptop if you want them. Laptops cannot get their parts changed; the best one can manage is to swap the hard disk and the RAM modules, but the latter can be especially finnicky, as many laptops only can boot up with only a handful of RAM sticks. In older ones, you could also replace the DVD drive. That's usually as far as laptops go in what parts you can change.
If your machine would be a desktop, then no, an i3-4xxx would not bottleneck a GTX 10xx GPU.

sorry
laptop.. it is not for games)
better buy desktop pc) someday..

an i3 and a gtx 1060 should be enough for 60 fps overwatch, but forget the Crew, that game won't feel smooth even on 60 fps, often you will feel like it stutters when in reality the framerate is rock solid
too bad you won't be able to change the GPU in your laptop

For games, it doesn't matter. A normally coded game only uses the CPU for the scripting engine (the game rules, like what an ammo pickup does) and to send the instructions to the GPU through the driver. This latter one is where most game engines and game engine programmes fuck up, sometimes royally. For example, Arma games are notoriously bad at using the CPU. But the Source engine has a similar problem (in reality, it works about as good as the Steam platform does…), this is why many CS:GO players are so hung up on CPU strength.
But in a decently made game, your 2 physical cores in an i3 should barely if ever reach 50% utilisation even in a complex game. Games are GPU intensive, and with DirectX12 and Vulkan, the engines are gradually lightening the load on the CPU, since they access the GPU with a lot less calculations in the way.
Therefore, for an average game, you get a lot more frames per second with a weak CPU and expensive strong GPU, than with a strong CPU and a cheap or medium-range GPU. (Or, to make it more clear: an i3 with a GTX 1080 would be better for gaming than an i7 and a GTX 1060.)

if a game is well written then you are good to go even with a slower CPU because during gaming most of the CPUs work will be redirecting the work onto the GPU. If the game in question has a lot of AI NPCs and physics going on then a faster CPU with more cores is needed because most of the time the GPU can't calculate those.
also you can't have 'bad' RAM, from DDR3 and onwards you can only have 'not enough' RAM

You can't change a renderer GPU of a Laptop. It's integrated to the motherboard. You can pretty much only change Ram and HDD.
1060 would rock those games, a similar desktop CPU would bottleneck a bit but you can upgrade it later. Ram is way too low though.

Yes, you can get over 60 FPS even on High settings. You get what you want even with bottleneck sure, but you can get about 70% more if you choose a better CPU to work with that GPU. Why settle with 90 FPS when you can get 160 ?
Basically you'd be using a 1050 instead of 1060 because of that bottleneck. So don't waste your money, build a desktop with 1060 and a i5-6600(k) to get 140 average FPS on Overwatch (on ultra).

My Laptop Spec:
GeFoce GT740m
i3 4th gen
4gb ram ddr3
My Game :
Overwatch (All opt Low, 30 fps limit)
The Crew (All opt Low, 30 fps limit)
If i change my vga to GeForce 1060, can i play the game smoothly at high opt and 60 fps, or it is a waste because it is bottleneck?
sorry newbie question^^
