Hi I'd like to buy a PC or gaming laptop purely for gaming purpose but I know nothing about pc specs etc. Been playing Playstation since I was a kid and only use my home old laptop for studying.

What type of laptop / pc should I buy if I want to run games on high / ultra high settings? I'm not picky just want pretty graphics and smooth fps. I mainly play single player games and some online games like cod, battlefield, wuthering waves etc. My budget is 5k is that enough for a mid end pc / laptop?

Sorry for the noob question.

Nah, not possible. Graphic card pricing is obscenely high these days.

Here is one with 5K but doesn't really meet your requirement.
Ryzen 5 5700X3D RM1199
Thermalright PA120SE RM155
MSI B450M Pro-VDH Max RM349
Kingston Fury Beast DDR4-3200 16GB Kit RM329
Gigabyte RTX3060 12GB Windforce OC RM1259
WD Blue SN580 1TB RM359
FSP HV Pro+ 650W PSU RM249
Lian Li 205M Mesh RM189
ASUS VG249Q3A 24" RM639
Misc. Peripherals RM300

------

The ideal world with budget conscious build (2K screen):
Ryzen 7 7800X3D RM1599
Thermalright PA120SE RM155
MSI B650M Gaming Plus WiFi RM799
Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-5200MHz 32GB Kit RM539
MSI RTX4070 Ti Super Ventus 3X RM4490
WD Blue SN580 2TB RM569
FSP Vita GM850 PSU RM609
Lian Li 205M Mesh RM189
ASUS VG27AQ3A 27" RM1159

-----------------

Forget about laptops, they are prone to run into high temperature and forced to slow down.
