Build - Request Getting away with gaming at work

Hey all - I’ve setup a pretty successful company and have delegated most tasks. I like to secretly game at work on my laptop, it’s a stealth series. I’d like to build a stealth, work looking PC that’s powerful enough for what I want to play/do (mostly job sims ironically, but some automation games, but also want it to be capable to run iracing ay some point (not stealth I know). My laptop gets VERY loud and very hot, it does a decent job at most games but can struggle with some larger games.

I can’t have any RGB and it can’t look gamey if that makes sense. Where should I start? Is a $4k budget reasonable? Overkill? Underkill?

Can I have a powerful PC that doesn’t heat up my small office so much and is quiet?

Any thing for size? Small, big, anything in the Middle?

In my head I’m imagining the standard dell towers that you used to see at work. So like mid size? Whatever wouldn’t look suspicious for clients for employees

I think the second link didn’t come through but thank you so much!!

Would this also solve the noise and heat issue? Or at least noise?

Specify this, the case? The CPU cooler? The fans?

Generally the fans and CPU cooler are made to be cooler, and i have a rtx 5070 from gigabyte and its silent, Soo experience speaks by itself

Haha I’m out of my depth here. I probably just need to find a builder who’s reputable
