It depends what kind of gamer you are. I don't play games for months preferring outdoor activities but during 5 to 9 weeks a year where daylight is short I am binge gaming.

For that, geforce now as well as cloud desktop + parsec have been great and inexpensive solutions for me.

The only reason I upgraded my old gaming computer is the lack of steering wheel force feedback support as I want to go back to simracing.
