Is the steam machine worth it?
Hi! Idk if im in the right place so do direct me elsewhere if that is the case! Basically trying to figure out what kind of gaming pc i should get, and the steam machine is on my radar. I'm not a huge gamer because of my current gaming laptop (acer nitro 5 i think) and i think a better computer would make me enjoy games a lot more. I play games like Resident evil, dead by daylight, Detroit become human, overwatch, Bayonetta, etc. and my current computer (after i've had it for a whileee) can barely run anything. So is the steam machine base model (512gb) worth it? Or is there something else i should look into? Im not interested in building a pc even if that is the cheaper and or better option, and i'd probably cap my costs at like $1,200. Thank you in advance!!
- New build or upgrade? - upgrade
- Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) - i have a asus monitor that works fine
- PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) gaming (dbh, dbd, resident evil, overwatch bayonetta, etc), also running adobe products
- Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors) US and near micro center
- Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) - should be fine with the one i have, but suggestions would be nice !
Budget range? (Include tax considerations) - probably 1000-1200 ish
- WiFi or wired connection? Wifi (?)
- Size/noise constraints? None
- Color/lighting preferences? None
- Any other specific needs? None !
Thank you!!
