There are plenty of nerds here on Lemmy to help, but some advice first.
What is the system intended for? (Gaming, CAD, editing, programming, Facebook machine?) This isnt just so we can advise better, but also to get you to state what you need this tool for. Its a tool at the end of the day.
Will it need to be moved? This is where your going to have to weigh the factors in your life, because if you need to move the device, a laptop may be a better, but the entire device is not moduler (usually, Framework laptops and a few other manufacturers like to do stuff like that).
Lastly, care to share what you planned/built? There are plenty of nerds on Lemmy who would love discussing stuff like that. (Shameless plug, one of those nerds is me)
Luckily, I got really exhausted and frustated, so hopefully it ended for now.
I'll do mostly browsing, programming, some servers always running in the background like jellyfin.
Then I'll be playing single player games on 2k ultrawide. Thinking all AMD for now, I'll consider nvidia for path tracing for the next upgrade, but don't need ray tracing for now.
Would like to reasonably futureproof it.
Just as a sidenote: I would consider getting a used mini-PC with proxmox for the servers. The energy saving alone will pay for this.
Gaming PCs are incredibly energy consuming compared to a mini PC and Jellyfin,etc. doesn't need much resources.
I just got a new completely unused nuc 7 off eBay for about £110. Ill be running running quite a few services off of it, all at under 20 watts.
Stop looking at big cases. You can build a small form factor PC in a case that's a quarter the size of a mid tower case. You can literally put the computer in your luggage and take it with you when you move.
I'm not sure how you're getting to $2000 in your build price either. A radeon 7900 GRE is an incredible 2k gaming card for ~$550, and your video card should typically be about half the price of your build.
forgot to answer the second point, moving would be great, laptop + egpu would work, would help while travelling. But a desktop sounds more interesting without the comprosises, could get a weaker laptop for travel if needed I guess.
What country are you in and which one are you moving to? I ask this because computer part prices can vary a lot based on country.
