Pre-built gaming PC's aren't worth the money. They are overpriced by hundreds of dollars, even when on sale. A trained monkey could build a PC and do not justify the increased price. A PC with the features and design of these prefabs takes less than an hour to assemble.

I will say this for those in the back...CLOUD GAMING IS NOT VIABLE. If you believe otherwise, you're lying to either yourself or everyone else. Or both. Input latency makes any and all games completely unplayable. Yes, I've tested all the services out there and the response time is absolutely absurd.

A $700 laptop gaming experience would be exponentially better than the suggestion posed here.

I disagree. Its not because you have a bad internet access with bad path routing or a bad home network that its the case for everyone. I destroy ppl on rainbow six siege using GeForce now coupled with a mini pc and a 240hz oled screen. My click latency is lower than over 90% of gamers (3ms to GeForce now server) and because my in-game latency is much lower than others (5 ms max) I in fact get the drop on others more often than the other way around.
Anti cloud gamers like you need to grow up. If you want a physical pc be my guess but don't lie and apply your experience to everyone else.
