John,
Don’t feel bad, I was very close to swiping my card on a gaming laptop this weekend. I decided to look at how much it would cost to build a PC with the focus of processing power for the builders instead of graphics and frame rates for gaming. Check out a youtuber Joey Delgado. I’ve been watching his “how to build” videos. Everything he’s picked out for the budget builds are gaming specific. So I started doing homework on a data processing focus components with memory for all the data sets instead of high end graphics cards for frame rates.
