Want to buy a mini gaming PC but is which one is better? Mine or this one..?

Vance_joustar · Aug 31, 2016

I have a PC which I purchased in 2011. I would like to get a new "Mini" PC because my current PC is a power guzzling money drainer. I want to upgrade to something small, quiet and equivalent or BETTER than what I have, but I am not sure if what I want to get is "better" than what I have so I need some help from you tech guys. It would be appreciated.

Here are the specs of my current PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJUCp7r72l0&feature=youtu.be

This is what I want to get: https://www.asus.com/ca-en/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG_G20AJ/overview/

Which computer is better overall?

Please advise

the ROG PC will be better than any 2011 PC, but you can probably get a better pc by building it yourself

I don't know if you saw it already or live in the US. But that ASUS model (two versions actually) is up for reburb sale on woot.com right now. Save a few bucks that way. http://computers.woot.com/plus/asus-rog-gaming-desktops-laptop?ref=cp_cnt_wp_3

That ROG computer has seriously outdated graphic card options.
Better get one of these:

but its still better than mine right?

Your CPU isn't all that bad. A graphics card upgrade would do you a lot of good, though.

Yes but the thing would just guzzle more power if I put in a new graphics card, wouldn't it?. I am looking for an ultra quiet, portable and eco solution. It does not have to be the top of the line. As long as its better than any PC 3 years old or older, I am fine.

Actually some of the current gen graphics cards are less power hungry, than what you already have. The GTX 1060 is a 120w card, vs the 150w card that you have now. What you were looking at with the GTX 760, or higher, would be more power hungry yet. If you want something small, and powerful, you may want to build a mini-itx rig.

Your pc is hardly power guzzling now.
If you use it for gaming drop a RX 460 in there & you have a sub 200w system at full tilt.
If you don't use it for gaming just remove your current GPU.

I understand your need to have a better, less power-hungry PC. I know I'm not the first to suggest this, but I HIGHLY recommend building your own PC, perhaps with a small Mini-ITX chassis.
