@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.

The only way to keep a gaming pc for 9 years is to know the playstation 6 specs then build a pc that can handle it, so you can play games for the 7 years gen cycle + 2 years with cross gen games.

Just wait and play games you like on playstation 5.

There isn’t a PC I could merely upgrade the GPU(?) of to get PS6 games performing decently smooth? Can others confirm or deny? I’m not a fan of playing the “wait two years for next gen” because that’ll turn into “wait two years for it to not cost an arm and a leg.” This PC at the 2025-purchased should last me at least through the first few years of PS6.
