My son (13 yrs) is busting my balls because he wants a gaming pc, to play steam games (cannot do it on his school Chromebook) and Fortnite (which he plays on his switch). So I was thinking of buying a SD, connect it to our office monitor (HP 23” 1920x1080 60fps) and mouse/keyboard both wireless (we have already a usb-c hub).
To me this would make the most sense… but I’d like to know which AAA games he could play with good quality results (in case, monitor could be improved), especially at this price below 400 euro (eventually bigger memory would be installed DIY).
Or, because of the oled just launched, better looking for a used one (in Europe)?
Thanks!
I wouldn’t suggest steam deck in this case. Roblox and fortnite etc you can get a cheap dell optiplex on ebay slap on a 1650 and get way more performance. Or even skip the Gpu just let a decent igpu box do it! He has a switch for portable stuff!
So you mean something like this: https://www.itgigant.nl/refurbished-computers/hp-8200-elite-tower-i7-4gb-250gb/ (with ram maxed out 32gb) and this: https://www.paradigit.nl/msi-gtx-1650-d6-ventus-xs-ocv1/21034633/product/3118 together +/- 460 euro
Better ebay or used market for the Gpu because they should be wayyyyy cheaper like 80 euro. And a mini dell optiplex should be 100eur. I’m not sure where but you should have office refurb pcs in the used market going for that price!
