So I’ve been looking at upgrading my PC and it looks like I can get a better “micro” pc than my current (ancient) desktop for significantly less money than a full blown gaming rig. An example of such a rig is this.
I don’t have high gaming requirements - I play mostly old games, I think the newest games I play are from 5+ years ago.
What reasons are there for not buying one of these (over a comparable “proper” desktop)?
I think an important question is what is your current desktop? You might be able to upgrade a single piece and get better performance than that micro PC. Also note that micro PCs tend to run hot (which causes performance issues) and you can’t replace or sell used parts easily.
