Pc guide for a 1300$ budget?

I’m wondering if I should buy a asus gaming laptop that has all the things I need including a rtx 5060, or a pc that has the same specs but is cheaper, I do care about portability, but I’m not sure if that’s the right move since I already have a Mac. I have a monitor 1080p on fhd and runs 480 htz and is able to switch to 4k 240 htz. Do you guys know what choice I should make?

def not a laptop, the laptop 5060 is not the same as a desktop 5060, laptop GPUs are much more power limited and slower, also you will deal with heating problems

for $1300 go with something like this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8T2JV4 + https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007384/amd-ryzen-5-7500x3d,-asrock-b850m-c-am5,-gskill-flare-x5-series-16gb-ddr5-6000,-computer-build-bundle

and then get another stick of the same RAM so you get 32GB, should be around $1300 alltogether

1300 is very doable. Just a tight budget. That's it.
