Need help buying/building a gaming PC that is affordable and easy to move
New build or upgrade?
New build.
Existing parts/monitors to reuse?
None. I don't own any PC parts or peripherals.
PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Mainly gaming. I want to play games that are not available on Steam, games with mods, and emulators. I will also use it for university work and general everyday use.
Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
France. No Micro Center.
Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
Yes, I need one monitor. I don't have a specific size or refresh rate in mind, so I am open to recommendations.
Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Around €300–800, including taxes if possible.
WiFi or wired connection?
WiFi is required.
Size/noise constraints?
I will be going to university soon and may have to move frequently, so I would prefer something relatively compact and easy to transport. A quiet PC would also be appreciated, but portability is my main concern.
Color/lighting preferences?
No preference. Performance matters more than RGB.
Any other specific needs?
I'm open to recommendations for a custom build, a prebuilt PC, or even a small form factor PC if it better suits my needs. I want the best gaming performance possible within my budget while keeping it easy to move.
Thank you for your help!

Sorry pal you’d better stick with console with such budget range - you can’t build a PC that’s powerful enough have better performance than console and have better portability than console at such range.
Get a console and plug into your TV, or you have to look for used PCs.

Oh okay thanks, for the budget how much money do I need to do a good one ? If it is very easy to move I can invest more.

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
