I used to be a PC gamer. My last built PC was in 2015. My last laptop was 2016. I am currently using a recycled workstation HP Z400 from 2011. I think it's about time I upgrade to my next PC. Yes, I am kedekut that I wait till the tech gap is big enough before jumping on.

I've been eyeing Illegear Onyx V R7 4800H (RTX 3060) that goes for around RM5.2k.

I know I don't really need RTX 3060 because I don't game that much on PC anymore. But I still have the urge.

So alternatively, I've been suggested ASUS TUF GAMING R5 4600 (GTX1650) at RM3.6k

My question is, how big a generation gap is it between these two? I only game at 1080p. I'm fine with lower detail as long as the frame rate's good. Will I miss anything much, assuming I'm not buying a new laptop within the next 5 years?

I'm currently using the Z400 workstation at home. It's working fine for most purposes. But it starts to struggle when multitasking. Even doing hi-res photoshop stuffs while having 2-3 browsers open will cause it to struggle. It's very limited when it comes to multi-tasking.

My 2015 PC is still at the office. I still use that one except for doing advanced Revit or Lumion rendering (3D renderings).

Not sure if anyone wants it. The workstation uses old Quadro, which is pretty crap for gaming (even in 2011), but good in computing stuffs. And they're also using SATA HDDs. So I'm just gonna keep them and use for casual stuffs and for my daughter's online classes.

2 HDDs, both 1TB each.
4 GB Ram.

The original was 500GB HDD. Then I had to replace it in 2018 because it started to make weird sounds. I bought the 2nd HDD quite recent, around 2019 I think.

And no, I probably wont spend any more money on the PC, since I've bought a new laptop (based on the suggestions here).
