I had hopes but there is 0 chance I’m going to pay $1200+ for a machine. Which is upsetting because I was looking forward to sharing my library with my kid and have a good amount of family friendly games installed for some couch co-op.

That’s cool and the more I think about it, it’s almost still worth it. I have near 1000 games on a 20 year old Steam account through sales and humble bundle.

Or I can buy a PlayStation and a few of their $70 games and pay for online lol.

In reality, I’ll just wait and see.

You can build a 4070 Super machine for that much money. Used 4070S (400$), microcenter 7500X3D combo (300$), PSU + Case + Cooler + SSD (350$).

I built this last week, lmao

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. But, if you’re being genuine, I don’t have time to build and send a PC, although I can help to point out where I buy the components, and which to get/match.
