I bought an Intel NUC for my Windows work. I don't play games on it though. They have a bunch of variants.

My wife had the high end NUC (Skull Canyon) with the dedicated AMD GPU.

Absolutely KILLER machine for the size and price. The next generation gaming NUCs were so, so much bigger. I can't stand them.

Highly recommend the NUC line overall!

Worth knowing if you're buying an Intel NUC: "On July 18, 2023, Intel and ASUS announced that they had agreed on a term sheet for a non-exclusive license for ASUS to manufacture, sell, and support 10th to 13th Gen NUC systems. ASUS will be responsible for NUC sales distribution for 10th to 13th Gen NUC systems. For 13th Gen NUC and future generations, ASUS will select and create new ASUS NUC SKUs." https://www.asus.com/us/content/nuc-overview/

Yeah, the NUC form factor is going to be closest to what OP is looking for. My only concern is the desire for games, I don't think there are very many tiny PCs that are also capable of excellent gaming—if it's just steam library history, I bet these will still do okay with their integrated graphics.
