Computer to buy
I’m looking to purchase a pc really want an all in one not a lot of space for a big gaming setup. I play mainly cozy games point & click etc. I know the core should be at least i5 right? Been on Amazon all day just not sure I know what to look for. I have a steam deck and love it but I do want a pc girlie set up.

Are you comfortable building your own PC?

And this thread would do better in the Hardware and Operating Systems forum.

That really depends on your needs. Can you name some of the games you would like to play? That can help us make suggestions.

I personally wouldn't recommend an all-in-one. Those are just laptops with none of the benefits of a laptop. (Like portability.) If you don't have space for a desktop, you might look at a laptop, or one of those micro-PCs[www.amazon.com] you can get now. They can usually be mounted to the back of a regular monitor with the VESA mounts, so it's kind of like an all-in-one, but upgradable.

You could also look into getting a Steam Deck or similar device, especially if space is an issue.
Its still a real PC just in a handheld format and especially if you mainly play games like point & click and Indie stuff such a device could be a real alternative to a full desktop PC.
Depends a lot for what else you want to use the system.

Some games just don’t work properly on the deck I tried to play once human and a few others not compatible at all

Okay, so you're looking at at least some fairly demanding games. Not all Stardew Valley and such.

Ideally, you want a desktop in this case, with the most performance that fits within your budget. In fact, that's the question we should be asking. What's your budget?

I know the core should be at least i5 right?
There's a little more to it than that.

i5 refers to Intels designation on their processors, and there's a much bigger range there than just "i5". For example, the Intel Core i5 13500. This refers to the 13th generation i5 processor, with i3 usually being the low-end offering, i5 being mid range, and i7 being higher end. For example, an i5 6500 is still an i5, but it's only the 6th generation chip from 2015 or so. A 9 year old processor, and probably not quite up to snuff for today's demanding applications.

On the other side is AMD, which is my personal recommendation now. AMD's chips are currently in the "Ryzen" series at the moment. Their naming can be confusing, for example my PC has a Ryzen 7 5700x. Like Intels i3, i5, i7 designations, Ryzen 3 is low end, 5 is mid range, and 7 is high end. The 5700x is the 3rd generation Ryzen chip, sometimes called "Zen 3" which is part of why it's confusing. You would think 5700 would mean it's the 5th generation chip. It's not. The "x" part of 5700x refers to the fact that this is a chip that can be overclocked, or driven beyond the speed it was designed to operate at, but that's a whole other topic.

Arguably most important for gaming is your graphics card, or GPU. This will usually (and ideally) be a completely separate component inside your PC. Next is RAM of which you're going to want at least 16 GB these days, and storage drive/s. There's no reason for your storage not to be a solid state drive these days, and you'll want as much as you can get for your money.

Usually you want a CPU and a GPU that work well together. Basically you don't want one to be too much more powerful than the other, or you'll get what we call "bottlenecks". This won't hurt anything, but it means one component will be held back by the other component. Like if you have a fast GPU but a slow CPU, your GPU will be waiting around for your CPU to give it's next instruction, and your GPU won't perform at it's best. The biggest GPU players right now are AMD and Nvidia, but Intel now has their own line of "Arc" gpus which can be an interesting budget option.

The mini-pcs I recommended earlier can be a nice buy, but since you mentioned "Once Human", you're going to want something more powerful than that. Some of the better mini-PCs can handle demanding games, but like the Steam Deck they'll be limited, and you'll need to turn stuff down. There will be a lot of compromises you'll have to deal with.

Wow so much I didn’t even understand lol I’m not computer savvy.I mentioned Oncw human cause it was the game I had a problem with. I don’t play games like that I’m more cozy only but do want my system to be able to if be. So I’m looking for a mini seen plenty on amazon I need to purchase a good one them monitor I already have in my cart keyboard and mouse that’s it?

If you're going the Mini PC route, yes. You'll need the PC, a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. And any other peripherals you would like. (headphones, speakers, controller, ridiculous LED lights, etc.)

When choosing a mini-pc, you still want to be conscious of the specs. The GPU and CPU will be one combined chip, called an "APU". This is how the Steam Deck works. Getting one with the most performance that fits within your budget is still important, and there's quite a range.

This one[www.amazon.com] features an AMD Ryzen 9 6900hx. This will give you much more gaming performance than the cheaper one I linked earlier, but if you stick to the simpler titles you'll probably be fine with less.
