One Setup for three types of play

Posted by Super98@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 2 comments

Hey! I would like some advice on how to play games in 3 different ways on one hardware setup:

  1. Regular gaming at the desk - For playing with friends, games such as world of warcraft, battlefront 2, sea of thieves, or Baldurs gate 3.
  2. This works OK on my current setup but would be nice with an upgrade
  3. Gaming on my couch on the TV with a controller, playing more demanding games such as the new Indiana jones, Doom dark ages, elden ring, expedition 33, witcher 4 (when it comes out) and more. Also some party/coop games with friends and girlfriend.
  4. The same type of gaming as on point 2, but not on the TV but on a smaller display, so that my girlfriend can watch some TV and I can game next to her.

I was looking into the new switch 2 since it solves points 2 & 3 but the high price and limited games (and the price of the games) + performance got me to reconsider. Also I want to keep being able to play with friends every now and then.

Budget for upgrade: around 1500 euro depending on what I get for it.

My current setup: I can already do light gaming with my current setup - monitor, peripherals, and an okay laptop that handles some light gaming on low settings. Laptop: 16gb ram, i7-11390H (3,4GHz, 4 cores) and has RTX3050-laptop card.

Notes:

Any ideas for how to solve this setup?
