Budget (including currency): $300 USD (USED FOR GOD SAKES)

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, Fl Studio (cracked ofc), basic esports titles at 60 fps, school, minimal video editing.

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): when i built my pc last year i was expecting three things: 1. giving my parents less control over my ability to game 2. were home basicly all the time and 3. Mo efficiency baby! all three have fallen since then, within the first two months my mom made me move my pc to the kitchen, and idk if its just me but everytime i try to game she will find a new game mechanic to complain about (basic stuff like violence). then it seems like were never home. so in a "rushed" decision ive decided to make my setup portable again! Mainly because the school i start next year requires us using a laptop and also because again, were basically never home... anyways theres a few things i need to fit into this budget:

1. 8 key midi controller

2. studio headphones

3. Laptop (idc if its old as hell i just need one that meets minimum specs of most esports titles. if not im fine with using geforce now)

 

 

im hoping im able to do this. the budget is quite tight but based on the research ive done so far, its very well doable. Pls help!

its $800 but it shouldn't be that hard to make, https://www.instructables.com/PlayCase-a-Portable-Console-Carrying-Case-With-Ful/

Even though it isn't the most portable it will allow you to get some bigger components like gpus.

kinda reminds me of this:

if i can fit it into the budget i might try it, but then again, i can find 960m laptops at 200$ and also ryzen 5 5600u laptops at the same price.
