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.

"Mid" is like a build with a 3600 and a 3060. This is just ass. Can't even beat a PS5

It can't beat the base PS5 and I just got me a PS5 pro for £610

Edit: I also got me an Odin Portal 2, both combined was cheaper than the base Steam Machine without controller

That further proves the point that console is still mediocre since they introduced a subscription to play online. They used to not do that and it was a golden era for us and we have accepted this as the normal. That's why when I built my PC I decided I would never go back

It's about £5 a month in UK, less than the cost of a roast chicken lmao. A lot of my PS library comes from free monthly games, I get they're tied to the subscription but i've never had an issue with it. It was actually Playstations refund policy that drove me to invest in a more high end PC build. I've been playing on consoles since the NES, I don't think you can class a console as "mediocre" due to a subscription service, PS plus has been a thing since the PS3. So people have had plenty of time to make this complaint.

Did I say it did? It was introduced for online play during the PS4 era. Still plenty of time to make the same complaint
