Hi, I am looking to buy a PC for the purpose of Moonlight Streaming. I want it to be compact (SFF/mini PC), but since Moonlight works only on recent nVidia cards, it needs a more recent GTX or RTX card (for example, the GTX1030 won't work, but I think the GTX1060 does). The PC will be used mainly to stream games to other computers/handheld devices. Also, I am trying to remain at or below $700. I haven't really found any good options. Most mini PCs don't put in a graphics card for size reasons, and the ones that I have found use the new Intel cards or AMD cards that are not compatible with Moonlight. If there is no other alternative, I suppose I could just get one of the more recent AMD APUs with the built-in 680M or 780M but then I would have to install Parsec which I heard is not as good as Moonlight for local and you have to pay to unlock all the features vs. completely free for Moonlight (not to mention I have to install another separate client since I am already using Moonlight).
What would be the best course of action?
 
Such things exist, and you can certainly look for more expensive models on the used market.






Could also just pick up a late model light gaming laptop and get the same level of hardware.
