    Hi,

    After 10 years solid performance and component (graphics cards, SSD, monitor, etc.) upgrades, my desktop is on it's last legs.

    I am considering choosing next build between :
    (a) reasonable spec new build + a VR headset for casual gaming and fun (e.g. 'Stop talking and nobody explodes')
    (b) Simple replacement desktop that has reasonable graphics could be upgraded over next number of years
    (c) A laptop (e.g. refurbished Dell) with a fixed dock, to allow for home office and basic gaming, while also being somewhat portable


    Keen to get peoples advice on pros and cons of above.
