So to make this short, I am looking at spending 20 - 25K on something that can run my gaming PC (not sure how many watts in total, have a 3080) and maybe the TV. Not worried about fridges, etc.

I have tried to look at various options but there are so many at the moment, and I'm worried I spend on something and then it was just a waste in the end. Is it better to get these trolley inverters or buy things sepearately?

Has anyone bought something in that price range that they basically use for their PC and has no major issues?

I've run my PC both a Bluetti and the original Ecoflow Delta, but my PC is generally lower power consumption. It's only an 3600 with a rx 5700 and I play mainly esports titles, so my power consumption rarely goes above 150w when gaming. I have played Spiderman and the new Dead Space on it, and then it sits at around 250w. I expect your PC will probably be closer to the 350w range, but as others have said, get a killawat meter and test to see how much your PC draws.

Regardless, you should be able to find a 2-3kw solution for about 25-30k.

First thing is first, find out what the wattage is, don't look at the PSU :-).
I have a Ryzen 5600 with a 3070ti and it can hit 400w easily and sometimes 450w when playing intense games.
So for that I'd look at the following
www.geewiz.co.za

2400VA Mecer Inverter + 2x 100AH LITHIUM Batteries Trolley (12 HOUR BATTERY LIFE) KIT - 1440W With LITHIUM Battery (+-4000 cycles) 2560Wh - 12 Month Warranty

Inverter: Mecer Inverter 2400VA (1440W) + 20A UPS Charger Batteries: 2x 100Ah LITHIUM LIFEPO4 Batteries (Hubble/Revov/Securiprod/GeeWiz) Cabinet: Geewiz Black Powder Coated Steel Cabinet + Wheels All cabling and connectors included Unit Dimensions(l,w,h): 45.5 x 42 x 43 cm 12-month warranty on...

Well that is pretty much it, as 400w over 4 hours will drain that to just a scooch over halfway, but being lithium it will be fine.

^This. The 24V Mecer with 2x AGM batteries is your best bet in that budget.
You could go for the 12V and run 2x batteries in parallel for longer run times but would then need to stay below 700W total use.

I have run gaming rights quite happily on both the 12V and 24V versions of the Mecer.

One word of advice though, inverters in that price range are going to be noisy as heck due to the fans when charging/discharging at high rates so take that into account when you consider where to put it.

God of War can push my 3070ti and Ryzen 5600 to 450 easily + the 45w of the monitor it's at almost 500w. Just Civ 6 puts the total at 400w, the RX5700 is max 220, the 3080 can do 340w, my 3070ti is 290

Screw that
I did a 1KW setup for the folks with a 200AH Mecer lithium (~2.3kWh usable) for 14k
No need to buy AGM kak if you do it right

That is lithium batteries not AGM :-), I'd not do AGMs any longer.

The 3kw navasolar trolley should handle pc

ie my kids 3070ti/12700k pc box only klaps about 500w

Ie 4hrs 2kwh

With losses probably 2.2kwh

You can get save enough capacity to be able to run tv too
By putting a power limit on msi after burner and run slightly less fps

I would personally not go trolley
As it limits battery expannsion

If spending 20-25k i would buy a 50ah 48v battery ie2.5kwh and 5kw axpert type inverter , use it as if 2.5kw inverter and later add another battery paralel opening up 5kw max output, to be able to use microwave kettle etc

and can also ad more panels later
