My laptop is the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 with the i5-13450hx and 4060 8GB mobile GPU with the 230w power brick and 32gb DDR5. Got it last year for 800 brand new. Im looking to build my first PC. What are some budget combos that would give it the edge over my laptop as to not get worse performance than I get now. Just want advice from real life people who already are into destop hardware and not just bechmark results. I can manage the rest of the parts.
