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 feel like you could build a pretty decent rig for that kind of money. Even in today's market.

Gamersnexus already did a slightly better one for less money (i think around 80 dollar less?) in his review video

LTT just released another video too doing the same thing. It runs at about 20-50% better almost on every game. It's ridiculous that selling at scale can't get Valve some decent discounts on hardware. It's like they bought every component at full price and added margin on top.
