I have a $700 Asus that started with windows 7 or 8, from 2014. It does everything except AI, it can play every game I throw at it(1080p) at high or ultra high.

I did just replace the battery last year. I think it was $35 dollars.

This is my main computer, I want to upgrade, but it keeps living.

This is 8 or 9 years so far.

I don’t know what games you throw at it, but my desktop regularly needs to be updated to keep up with current titles.

I pretty much only play GOTY tier games. I don't have time to play the weekly buzz.

I just looked up my steam games/GOTY games from the last few years, I don't have any.

For some reason I decided against them, not sure, maybe they are a genre that I'm not interested in, or they are from a series I've deemed are overrated.

Anyway, some games that seem pretty intense graphically that I can play: Doom Eternal, Witcher 3, Assassins Creed. Graphics are as I mentioned, at least on high. Sometimes I'll knock down the AA to 2x.
