@HoloDust I saw your initial response and want to clarify. I’m looking for a set up which can be reasonably upgraded over the next ten years, and handle all upgrades. I’m not looking for a one-time purchase to last a decade, I don’t think $1,500 would be anywhere near enough to reach that target.
Also, all: I’ll read through everything that has been suggested sometime today hopefully… My ultimate goal is to have a system that can serve as a substitute for my Steam Deck (which I use for emulation), PS5 (which I use for technically demanding games), and Xbox (which I also use for some performance boosts, e.g. Sonic Unleashed). My target FPS for current times would be 120fps on non-demanding games (e.g. PS1, SNES, etc.) if possible(?) and 4k as well. For non-demanding games, I’m aiming for at least 60fps on almost anything as well as anything at or above 1440p.
