Help about a new laptop/pc

[galaxyrooter]

Hi LTT 

SKIP THIS IF YOU WANT...

This is my first post here. Im 14 and I need a new PC. Rn I have an Elitebook 8460p with an i5 2520m and intel hd 3000. It has only 4gb of 1333 ddr3 ram and I cant play games on it. I play dirt 3 almost every day and it is on ultra low 720p at 30fps. Gta 5 is ubplayable as almost every game. Before the 8460p I had a pc with a celeron e3200 i think and a 5450hd and 4gb of ddr2 800mhz so this laptop at 200€ was the best i could do.

 

Now after owning this 8460p for a year I want a new pc/laptop.

I go to my granparents and friends every weekend and usually play games there or at vacations i bring my laptop so I lets say need portability. My plans were:

1. G4560 and a 1060 3gb 2400mhz 8gb ddr4 and that build would be around 450€ right now 

2. My 8460p with an exp gdc and a 1060 3gb right now

3. NEXT YEAR Dell 7567 with a 1050 ti at 750€ new

4. A cheap i5 laptop WITH A TB3 port for the cheapest tb3 egpu enclosure ALSO NEXT YEAR

So what would be the best option here 

Rn I have 300€ but ill sell my moms hp 635 for 125€ and do a g4560 build or 

Suffer with my 8460p with hd 3000 for a year and buy a laptop with a dgpu or an egpu 

Please help me! If you have more questions ill reply! ☺

Save your money for a capable gaming laptop. No desktop, no eGPU.

 

1. eGPU requires a Thunderbolt 3 connection since that's the only port with acceptable bandwidth. Still, it's much less than what a PCIe slot could give, so the eGPU will be seriously bottlenecked if it is capable of running modern games at ok frame rates.

 

2. Desktops are much cheaper in terms of price to performance, but since it's not portable, it's not suitable for your outside-gaming needs. On the contrary, a gaming laptop can be used at home without any problems.

The thing is tb3 is 98% of pcie performance as i have heard but so are pascal laptop gpus. Also because im 14 my parents wont allow (even if I have the money) me something expensive so a 1050 ti is the cheapest laptop gpu i can get. ?

No, it doesn't. Thunderbolt will bottleneck eGPU
1060 3GB is worse than 1050TI in some cases due to low VRAM

What do you think about 1060 6gb or 1070s? Will amd gpus work on internal monitor because of optimus?

Already said, thunderbolt connection will bottleneck powerful GPUs. Just get a laptop with preinstalled GPU inside, it's more about the same price

 

AMD GPUs may or may not work, I only seen Nvidia GPUs being used for eGPU

Yeah, thank yall,

I have decided I will probably buy a dell inspiron 15 7567 gaming with an 1050 ti or if I get enough money a 1060 laptop
