Portable PC gaming platform needed

[erpi]

Hi,

 

I travel a lot and need a gaming laptop but can't invest more then +-800 bucks.

 

I plan on bringing my keyboard/mouse/headset and even my screen with me.

 

What I found so far is a used Lenovo Y50 for 700 with a gtx860m or something like an asus rog gr8 for almost the same price.

 

Anyone got a better suggestion?

That's probably the best you can do. But fuck, I forgot about this laptop that had a 960M in it.

Build a Mini-ITX PC. I'll come up with one shortly.

You may as well build a LAN box.

Do you want a thin PC or a box PC?

It has to fit into a suitcase with plenty of space to spare (so also has to be light) or if at all possible even a backpack.

This helps a lot, thanks!

Do you have any idea how much it would weigh total (don't need precise numbers)?

Shouldn't weigh too much more than a laptop, 10 pounds max. (And that's overestimating.)

Mini itx shoebox size build. However, you'll probably need to bring a monitor which will take up a hella lot of space.
