Laptop Supplement Gaming Server

[TheMambaFlight]

Budget (including currency): 1500 AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for Cyberpunk 2077, Office Backup, Cloud Server

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 1080p 

Hey, I am a student living in Australia, and I have an Intel Nuc M15 for work and an Xbox Series S to satisfy my gaming needs. However, I wanted to return to PC gaming after selling my rig in '21. 

I want to use my MSI 27G4F (1080p, 180Hz) as a display output, and I could use a 1 TB SSD from Kioxia, but it is just a bulk disk for games and other storage.

 

I stayed away from Thunderbolt 3/4 EGPU options due to costs, compatibility concerns, or just a waste of money. Could you help me curate a budgeted option where I can upgrade some things down the line?

My budget is around 1250 AUD all-inclusive build 

I want to play some Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, Spiderman Remastered, and other Steam and Epic backlogs I bought over the years, preparing for GTA VI. I want another 1TB SSD to drive the OS, main games, and apps. All-inclusive means that the tower has to include everything but the OS

Thank you

Tried to stay within the budget constraints of the Australian "Dollerydoos", not an easy task. I recommend you go to eBay for your GPU as your money will go farther there compared to new:

Here I was able to fit in an RX 6800 for the price of a new 6750 XT. Basically, over a 10% performance bump if you're not bothered by buying used. The 6800 is also on par with a 7700 XT.
