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)?

    That’s a great midrange/budget rig!

    Looking at OP’s link it’s still twice the cost though, and given their gaming requirements it may be overkill.

    I would agree if space, portability, and modularity aren’t factors then your build is a very good suggestion.

    Edit: I’m looking at a different Amazon than you probably, i didn’t think of that when i commented.
