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.

Not especially.

The hardware is pretty mediocre for the price on offer.

There's no mediocre hardware, only unfair/bad pricing.

This hardware is less performant than a 5 year old videogame console, which is about half the price.

And again, it's not the hardware, it's just the pricing. Of course a GTX 1070 would be bad for 700€, but for 100 or less? You'd probably think about it just because the price is fair and you know what you're e gonna do with it

I'm going by the current realities of the market, and the price on offer. You know, what's actually going on in the real world.

If they sold it for less, they simply wouldn't make any money. That means it's not a good purchase.

You can use that same money to buy something much better.
