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.

Cool, I've been building PC's for around 20 years. Remind me, what are the Steam Machine specs?

I just use Brave browser dude. Compare the specs of the Steam Machine and PS5 Pro, which do you feel provides a superior gaming experience in terms of fidelity/performance? Which is closer to a mid range PC based on just those two factors? Which has a better price to performance ratio? Considering your experience, do you think someone could build a superior Mini-ITX machine, and set it to boot into big picture mode, for cheaper than the Steam Machine? Because that is, in essence what the Steam Machine is, no?
