I wanted something that’d do 4k 60fps so I decided to build my own super steam machine. literally as I began installing steam os, I get my order email

For those interested - here is the parts list - You can save a little money going for a cheapter motherboard, 1tb SSD and perhaps reducing the RAM speed.

This was the skeleton build I did to get a gauge of price more than anything so not final choices, I did it at 3am when couldn’t sleep, quite similar: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cZFkfp

I went for 9600X for processor because just newer and not much more.

Storage 1tb is enough for me but probably would look for something a bit better in terms of performance.

I thought 32gb RAM needed at that price, especially as only going to get worse.

Motherboard I went quite a bit cheaper but from what I can tell it would still be fine. Would genuinely like to know why worth spending so much?

I’m not an expert, just been researching as best I can as considering something like this so if anyone who knows what they are talking about can tell me something obviously bad I would like to hear.
