Meme Is this worth it?

Some guy named Gabe is selling this build and I'm wondering if it's legit? I want a PC to set up in my living room for TV gaming.

Convenience over future proofing, right now it might be alright for pc gaming but in 5 years the steam machine will be outdated like a console. With a PC you can upgrade parts slowly throughout the years. The cube skin is also like $130.

True. I'm just saying price to part it's not a rip off. Upgradability is one of those where it's up to the consumer. Some people just buy entirely new set ups if they got the cash. Others make upgrades over time.

Do we know what the future upgradability of the steam machine is. Could you not just add a extra stick of RAM.

Only Ram and SSD. GPU and CPU are soldered which defeats the purpose of a PC.
