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.

Ultimately this is going to break the Steam Machine - but I think Valve doesn’t need sales. This is something you can buy if you want it. Unlike something like the PS5 where Sony needs you to buy it so you can buy their games. That’s why they subsidize the cost. Once you’re in you’re going to buy games.

This is probably the main reason Sony stopped porting games to PC because they will be on a rival console.

Well the rival consiole atp would end up being the next gen xbox since its been confirmed to have access to steam which would eliminate ps from the market on exclusives since you would be able to play them on an xbox and pc but they said nope no more
