I want to run a game at its minimal requirement but don't need performance for playing it just amount to prevent it from crashing all the time. I will be running this as a near retro game server streaming it to my tablet.

Diablo 2 Resurrected min req is Intel® Core i3-3250 AMD FX-4350 and Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7850 graphics card. I heard/know the Iris Xe and/or UHD 630 can run it. Now I just need to find a mobo that can operate a Intel® Core i3-3250 or equivalent with Iris xe laptop or desktop mobo's. I'm having a hard time researching for a list of all my options. Google just gives me a response with 30% of it is flowers >_< I.e, the "Dell Vostro 3470" with intel i5-8400. Seams to reach the CPU req at max clock. I also would like to play some Old school rune scape and rune scape 3 is that matters!

Any pointers or thoughts as I'm trying to get at the lowest power consumption and barley meat the system req. I don't care about what OS I use. Other than Linux may need to run it in wine/other emulators and volkan but if it frees up more resources its all good. I have seen a few tutorials on running D2R on steam deck.

You could look into a laptop that has an Intel i5 1135G7.

Just an FYI, if you had a system lying around that met your intended game's minimum system requirements, then there was no harm in moving forward but purposely stifling your path with a gimped system isn't a worthwhile financial decision. If you're looking for a processor equipped with an UHD 630, look at Coffeelake or above processors. If you're looking for a processor equipped with Iris Xe, then look at these;

A budget for your endeavor would be a good idea alongside your location.

TY for the list :)
I wish I had a system siting around for this. As I'm on a supper budget and in debt so I going off grid and want the minimalist energy consumption for night time battery use. I do have a gaming rig but the energy use is to high for night time. So I decided to use a power restricted gaming server for unwinding in bead.
