I'm looking to set up a budget-friendly gaming setup for my living room. I built my main PC last year with a powerful 7800x3d and 7900xtx for demanding games. However, for couch gaming, I want something that can handle single-player, co-op, and emulation games without needing too much power. My TV supports 4K at 120Hz with gaming mode, so I'm hoping to achieve at least 60 FPS. What are some realistic and affordable ideas for this build?

You might want to consider Steam home streaming! If you power on your gaming PC and then connect a cheap laptop or even an iPad, you can stream your games to your living room. No extra hardware needed—it just works over your network!
Have you thought about just getting a PS5 or Xbox Series X? They’re pretty good for couch gaming and can run most games smoothly. Just throwing it out there!
I did think about it, especially with some big titles coming out soon. But I’m still considering a build if the price is right.
Just a heads up, you might struggle to hit 100 FPS on those consoles unless you lower the graphics settings.
That sounds interesting! Does it lag much? I had a bad experience with Xbox streaming on my TV, and it wasn't great.
