Would you guys suggest getting a replacement laptop (like a Zephyrus G14) or building my own tower? I feel like towers are probably more performance per dollar vs laptops, but you get the mobility with laptops.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Also, the main save Im planning on starting soon is pretty large, full NCAA, JUCO, and HS feeders from Dr. Park, all independents and foreign leagues, all facegens created with stats saved, so a lot of storage and RAM is needed.

Absolutely a tower,
How much money are you wanting to spend? bc if you don't wanna spend a ton up front, you can buy a mid range tower with a i5 or i7 and upgrade on the fly down the road. That mid range tower will run OOTP perfectly and most games well and then become a beast as you upgrade. That's usually how i do it due to things i need to do around the house with the family. Definitely look at the LG Ultra wide monitors, they are absolutely incredible. Just start the game in windowed mode and then go full screen and drop back to windowed before you close the game.
My plan is to do the same thing.
I'll add a small SSD eventually run windows off of, another 8 GB ram and finally a better video card.
Honestly, the game you are talking about is gonna run fine with 8 to 16 GB Ram. Depends on the time frame you're looking at... I have mid range AMD A8 processor and I never have more than 30 seconds between days, usually closer to 15 seconds and I'm running an incredibly big league
