I think the only option for what you want is to go second hand hey.

I grew up in SA and know the second hard market quite well there, cash converters in a rich town is likely to have something, not sure where you're staying, but only a big town is gonna have something obscure like that and you wont be able to barter much as it's something they will like having in the window.

You have quite a small range of games that you play and they're mostly quite old apart from the SCS games (Euro Truck was amazing BTW). It depends how low in settings you want to go really. Take a look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwfZ3klSt6I

That was played on intel 4000 graphics on a random Acer laptop. You could probably find something running similar spec for around 5 grand (ZAR) on a good deal. You wouldn't need the SSD he has, not really important for gaming.

I don't think you'll ever find anything with a dedicated GPU (Nvidia/ATI) for your budget unless you buy something stolen in the township XD
It's worth keeping in mind that the cheapest dedicated GPUs are only a little better than something built into the CPU.

I would advise looking at the laptops that come up on gumtree (https://www.gumtree.co.za/s-pc-laptops/l...1c9438q0p1) in your area, then using the power of youtube to see how well that particular model plays the SCS titles, Freelancer and San Andreas are probably going to be fine. Hopefully something will eventually come up with all 3 criteria
- Not on the other side of the country
- within budget
- can play the games you want

I would just recommend being careful with gumtree in SA, always take a friend and don't go anywhere you wouldn't normally go. A good deal isn't worth your life.

Edit: Oh, disco launcher has an export button on the accounts page, you can just copy that file to the new PC and then use the import.
