Hi guys.
Not played FM since 2020 and that was on my current laptop which is about 7/8 years old. It is an HP Pavilion with an i5-6200U with 8gb of RAM. It didn't perform too great with FM20 and is just generally bloated and very slow for everything so I think it is time for an upgrade so I can get back involved with the game I have loved for well over 20 years.
My main saves tend to be long-term either starting in the bottom leagues of England or Scotland or full on journeyman style. I like to load a good number of leagues from around the world (most are view only), play with a large database with graphics packs and the 3d engine (happy to sacrifice graphics settings for performance).
Given this is pretty much only for football manager I want to limit the spend so I am considering building a desktop to get more performance for my money but the portability of a laptop will give me much more time and flexibility to play.
How well would this build deliver on what I would like:
Ryzen 5 5600g
MSI B550M Pro-VDH Wifi
Corsair Vengeance 16gb DDR4-3600
Kingston NV2 1TB NVME SSD
Total cost is showing as £418 including case and power supply.
In the £400-500 range, how close to that performance could I get on a laptop and what do you think would be the best option?
How much extra would I need to spend to get a significant performance improvement?
Thanks a lot.
