Computer to buy that play steam games

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.

If you want an all in one, t hen you want a gaming pc? Because a gaming pc is everything below it, but everything below it is not necessarily a gaming pc? Is this right? or am I overthinking this.

Otherwise what do you mean "all in one"?

All-in-one PC is an actual category of computers built into a monitor. Something like iMac.

Hmmm, I was wondering if those were still a thing. I guess I just found out.

What games you play? Think of the MOST DEMANDING one and then look at it's recommended specs on it's video game site or something.

Then I guess post those specs here and people can start suggesting something?

The answer is not as straight forward as some games require more expensive components to run smoothly. The most cost efficient way to get maximum performance is to build your own PC.
It would be easier to answer your question by knowing what games you want to play and of you want the best graphics or you are OK with low settings and low resolution. Something like steamdeck or stronger?

If you don’t know what games you want to play and just want to play whatever new is coming out then you aim for the most demanding games and buy a mid tier PC.

It really depends of your expectations and your budget but a proper “play it all, do it all” PC is something like $1000-$2000.

Steam does not make games, it re-sells all games it can grab, made by developers.
You need to be more specific as to categories and give an example or two.

You want a pink desk case headphones and monitor from one site? But when you do that the quality is not good. Or a laptop?

State a budget you will spend. You could blow 4000 dollars on a Ultrawide oled and a midrange down to a low end laptop.

Not sure what else to say I’m looking for recommendations for a good pc that play steam games I understand it’s different system requirements for every game. I understand that I want a good pc that can handle any game on steam. I usually play just cozy games like dream light valley Palia my time in sandrock. I tried once human just to see if it would play and it didn’t work so want something that can play even games like that.
