My research suggests I may need a gaming computer. If you have some recommendations, especially for a particular Brand/Model, I'd love to hear from you. Budget is a big consideration. I'd like to limit my investment to $1k if possible.
Please speak up!
Thanks in advance.

If you are buying a new laptop, I would get at least an I7 processor and 16GB of RAM. But, I think your budget is a little too low. If you also buy a 4K monitor, that alone will blow about half of your budget. Of course, you could save a lot of money if you get a desktop, and a cheap tablet or Chromebook for other tasks.
