Looking for the above for a kid to use. Nothing fancy or pricey.

Would like a 1060/1660 or similar level gaming capability is good enough.

If you have a decent shape laptop, mobo combo or gpu in that range please let me know.

What's your budget? An AMD laptop that has a 780m onboard will do pretty well for light gaming.

Budget sucks. Got hit in a crosswalk boxing day so its tight. Just disability til the lawyer settles things. Not looking for something new. Its a good suggestion though. The mini pc versions are decently priced.

She is considering building her first pc now instead so its less likely to happen another time. I have a 4770. If i could find a decent used 1060 or similar I could probably help them build something. I have psu, case, ram and hopefully a still working mobo. Its itx but they only need a gpu. That would be plenty if it all came together no problem.

I am open to other options though. Itd be better to get them something upgradable rather than something that came out when they were 3.

Atm they are using a lenovo i3 minipc from around the same period. That should be a reminder to mind the damn soda!

At $659, this is a monster compared to what they're currently using. Will handle some light duty, 1080p gaming. You'd just have to do some research on expectations with a 780m. And if you look around, might find something better in a mini PC form?

Beyond that, finding a budget GPU would be great if the rest of the parts you have are in good working order. Unfortunately I don't have anything atm, but hope you find something.

Several minis in the $475 area. Cooling might suck but Im a former miner. not new to improvised cooling upgrades. Would be fun to tinker with some on amazon as renewed...
Its definitely a possibility.

As long as it has a port for her drawing tablet too it'll work for her needs. They are also learning Arduino so they can probably make their own fan controller mod as a cool project. No pun intended...

I edited the title and op. Thanks for the tip. She does like the mini pc idea but also the diy. Time to scrounge my bins to see what may live!
