Hey everyone! I'm in the market for a new computer and I'm leaning towards getting a mini PC. My main goal is to run billing software like QuickBooks for my business, but I also want to be able to enjoy some light gaming—especially simulators. I haven't had a PC in quite some time, so I'm not sure about the best options out there. I'm also curious if I can use my new smart TV as a monitor since I have it set up in my office. I'm planning to use a wireless keyboard, mouse, and a gaming controller with it. I'd appreciate any recommendations, especially since I'm hoping to keep my budget under $500. I'm open to a full-size PC if it makes sense!

Mini PCs usually don't support decent video cards, which limits gaming performance. If you're serious about gaming, you might want to consider a different setup.
Check out Beelink Mini PCs! They've been around for a while and have good options. There's one for about $279 on Amazon right now, and some reviewers seem to enjoy gaming on it, but make sure the games align with your tastes.
I'm in a similar boat! I really want to set up a racing sim and move to Steam since my Xbox just died. Let me know if you hear about any good deals too!
What's the minimum GPU I should be aiming for then?
