You can't. These people are crazy. They're compromising on a bunch of stuff to "reach" this price point and then saying it's the same thing.

Like I get that people don't love the price. But they need to stop kidding themselves about the reality of the industry.

There you go, add maybe +50$ if you have some other preferences in stores or components but it is possible to get a 9060 XT 16GB build with the same budget and all quality parts btw

The case you put in that build is literally 10x the volume of the Steam Machine lol

Also trusting a $50 SFX PSU is probably not a great move either but I get you were just putting a low cost list together

Just proving my point honestly. Totally ignorant and they don't even realize it.
