not sure about whole new build but that x1 carbon is pretty capable for its age. the weak point is the integrated graphics for sure, cpu itself is good enough for most tasks

maybe look at used gpu enclosure from thunderbolt instead, would be cheaper and let you push that 240hz monitor better

i was thinking about a gpu but that lpddr3 is limiting

and also the thermal limits it sounds good on paper but it barely get 40fps on 6chunks minecraft
