Hey everyone My old desktop finally died right before finals week so I am now looking for a compact PC / mini PC that can handle heavy gaming sessions and Adobe Premiere video editing without lag or crashes. My previous setup was struggling even with Zoom and lighter games, so I want something more stable this time.After going through trusted reviews and community discussions (NotebookCheck, Reddit, TechRadar, YouTube reviews, etc.), these two compact PCs keep coming up as strong options:

compact powerhouse with Ryzen and solid specs

another small form factor option with good performance

I am planning to use the system for: Gaming sessions of 4–5 hours straight (big titles + online play) adobe Premiere Pro video editing and multitasking Portability for moving between home and campus regularly
Which one of these would be better suited for gaming at decent frame rates and smooth video editing?
Appreciate any insights — thanks in advance

If you have to do go with one of those options than I would pick the GMKtek one. But I think that this mini pc form minisforum would be a better option:

It has a usb 4 port that can be used to connect a egpu like this one:

Or a egpu dock (which is a bit more complicated). But both will increase performance by a good amount as long as you do it correctly. Hope this helped!

Neither is good for video editing or AAA games better building or buying ITX setup!
What’s you budget?
