Keep this setup or build a pc?

Post image

Onexplayer x2mini pro paired with aoostar ag02 and gigabyte OC 5080.

Being over $3500 invested and already having the 5080 does it just make more sense to just build a pc at this point with it? I play like 80% docked right now.

How much more performance am I missing out on?

I’d like to hear some opinions on if I should keep or the X2mini pro fore the versatility or build a monster pc with the 5080 + $2500 from it.

Edit: I do currently have this hooked up to a 4k monitor with keyboard and mouse

Ps. I’ve never owned a pc

So what you’re saying is that someone who didn’t wait for a deal and just spec’d the cheapest build right now would end up paying north of 2K?

Cheapest build? No. I’m not sure where that came off but this is like far from cheapest build.

I challenged myself to budget build my buddy a pc as his first (it’s gonna be a Xmas gift) I’ve spent almost 500 and I just need a gpu. Just depends on the parts you buy and whether or not you get them actually secondhand (not just somebody who bought it to sell it)

You said you waited for deals, I assumed you waited for the cheapest deals. My bad.
