What would you say is the best option now for gaming? Buy a G series Ryzen or be on the lookout for any used or new GPU?
used GPU.
New is all scalper tier.
G series ryzen don't have the 6c/12t goodness that the non-gpu Ryzens have.

There is also option of gamer laptop.

I have no idea about used market.
Just saying because I have a GTX 1660 Super GPU, purchased in ~2019 November for 19k.
Today same GPU selling for 42k new.
And this is all scalper pricing.


There is RPTech that is official Nvidia GPU distributor for those 3xxx series cards, but stock comes very rarely, and you have to get in waitlist to buy, but the pricing is normal and not insane scalper tier.

A discreet gpu is always better than integrated ones. A used gpu could give you hiccups just make sure it aint too old. Under 20 months is sweet spot.

^^ Ballistic version wasn't available in-game so went with bump version of Team Wendy EXFIL

And just to compare & cry, the DEVGRU look from Op. Neptune Spear

DCS.. Digital Combat Simulation. It's a game.
Wow!! Amazing realism!! And I thought the Microsoft Flight simulator was the ultimate!! Here's what it looks like....(You need a computer with monster specs for MSFS 2020!!). See in full screen. The graphics etc are the same for Xbox too.


This one below is a spectacular sunset landing in Norway! Skip parts but don't forget the landing part with the amazing sunset effects towards the end! You can start from 2:50
