Been looking at this subreddit all day to reinforce my decision.

It's primarily for youtube streaming, work (I'm sales - so.. CRM, excel sheets, video calls, screen sharing in google meet, VoIP, nothing too intensive - lots of multitasking on a second monitor however.) and some gaming.

I only really play 3-4 games. World of Warcraft Classic, FFXIV, Path of Exile 2/Diablo4 and Magic the Gathering Arena.

I'm sure this can handle the youtube streaming and my workload - but I'm curious how FPS and settings do for the games I listed. I've tried to google benchmarks for them or find youtube videos - but I'm finding zilch. I don't need mega ultra settings to see every single shadow and particle on my screen, but it would be neat to be medium/high settings in all of those games without stuttering/frame tearing.

Can someone please advise I made the right decision or tell me to kick rocks and go with something else? Thank you.
