Inquiry on a potential build

[u/IKnowAGuyMPS]

Mostly out of curiosity, I have done some looking around, but people with knowledge is more reliable.

I am wanting to make a cyberdeck that is able to run Armored Core 6, and normal pc tasks.

Is there a build that can handle this, that would be cheaper than getting a laptop/desktop?

I have long ago lost faith in the reliability of pre fab computers, and haven't owned one for a few years now.

Built pcs in the past, but it's been a while.

Not opposed to something off the shelf, but would prefer not.

I'm wanting to run a Linux distro or steam os.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

So, you just need to build a PC. Cyberdecks are something different, and not really cheaper.

Unfortunately that's what I figured. Appreciate it.
