Please check this for gaming potential

I originally posted a spec for a Cosmos IX 15.6" for my son (See https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/foru...15-6-cosmos-ix-is-ok-for-casual-gaming.77112/ ). It appears the graphic card (GeForce GTX 1650) I wanted is no longer available. The one that is available (GTX 1650Ti) costs about £80 more but won't be available until March.
This spec costs a further £60, mostly because of the graphic card. I would like to know if the performance justifies the cost - my son says he's only interested in "casual gaming" but I'm sure he would appreciate the improvement. He probably would not be worried about games demanding "top-end" performance.
Many thanks

We love you Ukraine
Absolutely not. The 1600 series are last generation about to be superceded before March with new chassis with far more powerful GPU's for the same money.

I'd suggest getting one of the new chassis with a modern card.
