My husband is a gamer-would the Geekom A7 max actually cut it?

My husband is really into gaming, not like a hardcore gamer or anything, but he plays pretty much every day and always complains our old desktop takes up half his desk. i'm thinking about getting him the Geekom A7 max as a birthday surprise, figured it'd be powerful enough to handle his games but compact enough to actually free up some desk space. It's got a Ryzen9 7940hs, 16gb RAM, and Radeon 780m graphics. From what i've read the 780m is decent for most games, and apparently if he wants to play something heavier like call of duty, he can hook up an eGPU through usb4.

I've never bought a PC for someone before so i'm not super confident here. Is the A7 max actually a solid pick for a gaming setup? Would love to hear what you guys think!

Just got this in and I can't stop looking at it.

Unpopular opinion but imo the Success ring is a stronger piece than force 10. Less recognizable, more intentional. yellow gold bold band underneath, pavé diamond bar across the top. The combination just works.

Stone density on the bar is solid, gold polish is mirror-level. Wears flush, no rotation. Anyone else here into Fred or is it just me?
