GMKTec Nucbox 10 Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULbcfywHpCk&t=1sI've wanted to get my hands on a Mini PC like this for a while. Something SUPER chea...

Here's a separate question:

I'm thinking about getting a "mini-PC" for myself, but only one that can play games really well, especially "modern-day" video games.

What's a very powerful one that I can get?

I'm willing to spend up to $1,000 but maybe just mention anyone that's great or the best out there, idk.

    While I moved the internals of my aging (and kinda gross, the previous owner smoked in the house) gaming PC to a small form factor PC and purchased a small form factor graphics card (GTX 1050ti) it's not great. I can play fallout 3 and 4 but not 76.

    I MAY have a pair of old 2 TB HDDs sitting on the outside of the case with SATA cables ran out to them and powered from a sata power supply I got off of Amazon because I didn't want to let go of the space and I'm not in a position to spend much money on it. I do have 2 SSDs inside, one for Linux and one for winblows (easier to install mods for games)

    While I personally am not a fan of the subscription model nearly everything is turning to, I did have a great, GREAT experience with google stadia. It was the way I played cyberpunk and I have absolutely zero regrets and at launch, it was the best option I've heard.

    I've recently gotten an Nvidia shield for the living room and I plan on getting starfield on steam and playing through GeForce now. I don't know from personal experience how well a mini PC would handle it but I would guess it wouldn't have too many issues. My Linux side (Linux mint) is playing games on GeForce now really well now, I've only recently noticed.

    Of course I'd usually recommend to use GoG for games, but it isn't synced with GeForce now. Maybe one day I'll have a computer that'll handle the games I want to play but until then I'll stream 🤷
