My PC is around 8 years old now and while it still plays games like WOW & Diablo I was looking at buying a Mini PC but being in am not a computer person all the Tech Jargon is like another language , I am looking for a Mini PC that can of course run WOW comfortably I am hoping to get one that can play games like Baldurs Gate 3 or Elden ring , Of course not in Max specs but playable .
Thanks
What is your monitor resolution? What is your budget? Maybe these?
Core i5-14500
MSI B760i Edge Wifi DDR5
32GB DDR5-6400 CL32
or
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
MSI B650i Edge Wifi
32GB DDR5-6000 CL30
the rest of the parts…
EK AIO 240 Basic
Samsung 990 Pro 1TB
RTX 3060 12GB or RTX 4070 (Super might force you to go with new connector which is an issue with small cases)
Corsair SF750
Lian Li A4-H2O (about PS5 size)
My Monitor is old But I will buy a new one if needed currently its a LG running at the recomended 1920x1080 resolution 60Hz , budget is maybe $1000-$1300 , Not looking for a parts PC I have to build . I did look at some from Minisforum that looks good but they all seem to test with the same games , Fortnite , Dota , God of war , Cyberpunk 2077 , The one I was looking at is Neptune HX77G from Minisforum .
Performance looks like meh for the price you pay for. If you gonna stay with 1080p, probably it will work. Just don’t go crazy with graphic settings. Zotac got some Mini PCs too.
IF you can get someone to build for you, parts listed from me is miles faster.
I am looking at the Minisforum UM790 Pro , Its the front runner right now
780M iGPU performs slower than GTX 1650. Be prepared to lower some settings on 1080p.
