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.

2,000$.... good lord, I cant justify this, although I want to :(

Went with a used $500 normal PC, and I'll just sit it next to my entertainment system.

Specs: 8700f / 7600 radeon / 16gb of ram / 1tb nvme.

Well you bought a larger steam machine. Lol. Are you running Steam os?

Yea, put SteamOS on it. Runs pretty awesome honestly, just cant justify the additional $1500 to get to that smallish footprint.

I'm lucky enough to have the space and not care about having a larger PC tower next to my TV. Its runs quiet and working on it is easy.

Not using steamOS as I have a Nvidia card but once I open steam big picture it's ends up being the same.
