Hello!
I've got a budget of about 600-700 dollars to buy a gaming mini pc, ideally on Amazon. I've found so far things like the GEEKOM A8, but meanwhile media says it's good, I've found some reviews all over saying things like it no longer works after 3 months, the fans are unbearable, do not install drivers from AMD, sometimes it doesn't boot and such things. This has lead me to believe this pc isn't as good as I had thought initially.
Been looking for alternatives, and have seen things like Minisforum, GMKtec and Beelink.
I would like to know which one is the most reliable long term model within my budget. And also see if it any of these options within the price range could run games like Euro Truck Simulator 2, War Thunder, or more demanding titles, like maybe Squad, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019, Battlefield 6, or even DCS at 1080p, high settings at 60fps.
Right now I have an Acer Swift 3 with a Ryzen 7. Meanwhile it's fast and does browsing well; it isn't for gaming at all. It straight up can't run Squad, or Battlefield 6. And things like Call of Duty MW runs at barely 25fps on average at the minimum settings at 720p. Other games like ETS2 or War thunder are a bit more playable, with War thunder running on ground battles at about 40fps on Ultra Low settings at 1080p. I don't know what 60fps gaming looks like in my current PC. I'm saying this to see if any of the Mini PCs from those brands above would actually be a meaningful upgrade from what I currently have, such that I can play games more demanding games that my PC can't run and have a more comfortable visual experience on games like Euro Truck Simulator and War Thunder, as both feel like I'm playing on a Power Point presentation 90% of the time.
Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
Greetings.
