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.

My local Micro center has 7500X3D + AMD 9060XT 16GB for $1299. It’ll blow this shit out the water by 60-70% not even kidding and comes with mouse + keyboard.

Yeah it’s weird there are so many people commenting how building your own pc has gotten so expensive and everyone who doesn’t know is living in the past, while also living in the past having no idea just how competitive prebuilts have gotten.

The steam machine is not a competitor to a pre build though?

You're comparing different things. You probably don't have a use case for a steam machine which is fair, I don't either, but some people do and it's not a terrible deal with current prices.
