I recently got a TCL C6K 4K TV that supports 144Hz, and I'm itching to play some games on it. However, I'm hesitant to invest in a gaming console right now due to their high prices. I've got a PC with a Ryzen 7 5700X, RTX 3060 12GB, and 16GB RAM running at 3600MHz, plus I own quite a few games on it. The only issue is that my PC is about 10 to 20 meters away from the TV. Should I buy a console, or is there a way to connect my PC to the TV without moving it?

You could consider streaming games to your TV over an Ethernet connection. I've used a Steam Link before, but I’m not sure what the latest gadgets are. Still, a solid HDMI cable should work perfectly for that distance, and it won’t break the bank versus buying a whole new console!

I'd say grab an Xbox Series S or a Nintendo Switch since they're more budget-friendly for gaming on the TV. However, if you want to go the PC route, moving it closer to the TV might be necessary to avoid any delays. But honestly, you might not see much lag thanks to HDMI, even at that distance!
There’s not gonna be lag. HDMI won’t affect your experience much over that distance.
