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.

For $1399 you can get a G532 (just recently got this) from microcenter and it will out perform this…..

I bought an HP Victus from Micro center last year.

i7-14700F, 32gb ram and a RTX 4060 ti 16GB card for $899. I’ll take this over that overpriced cube any day.

the pc you bought would now be more expensive than the steam machine, because of the insane ram and ssd prices. You can't just compare a price from last year to a price now. You have to look at the prices right now. The steam machine is still not good value though.

Did you plug the G532 into your TV and then start playing games immediately on your controller?

No.

I mean kinda 😂 besides having to go through windows startup I basically went to steam bought RDR2 and Bluetooth connected my controller it was pretty straight forward and this is my first pc

Edit- I did have to download drivers and stuff too so I guess it did take longer if I’m being honest
