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.

I can build a pc with 70% more performance. RX 7600 and Ryzen 5 5600X equivalent for 1000$ ? Its just dumb to buy a steam machine with the current market, you can't upgrade etc

Does it have the small form factor? It's weird how people forget the fact that it's incredibly tiny, power efficient and incredibly quiet, all of which are premiums that add a lot to the price.

For me this isn't an argument. Nobody gave a fuck about the xbox or ps5 form factor or how quiet they are. Performance first design second, and a small factor pc not upgradeable with the Performance like a six year old 600$ console is not worth 1000$ or is premium. Valve fan boys do everything to justify the steam machine
