Depends entiely what you put in it.Desktop don't allways need to use more power then a laptop.
Serveral gaming laptops use similar power like a desktop system, it allways depend what components are used and what performace you want to reach.
When you search for passive or silent systems you will find mosttime powerefficient systems.
I don't want say what you should use.
But you should have at last 16GB better 32GB or more RAM.
512 GB SSD sound much at first, but games get bigger and bigger even 7d2d need 15GB+ installation.
Some gaming websites got a hardware part too, and some even offer some own complete systems and let them sell over big companies like Alternate.
Check of these compare with Dell too.
Finding a good system for your cash budget isn't an easy task anymore !![]()
JUST the GPU in my desktop pulls 350W-375W while gaming.
My entire laptop, running at 100% (CPU and GPU) pulls 275-300W.
And for the record, my laptop has 2 280W power bricks for 560W max load. I just did a LOT of tweaking. I did the same on the desktop and it still pulls 475-500W.
My wife's laptop can pull a max of 170W (Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3060).
