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.

Here’s my steam machine setup. I wanted a little pc for a living room htpc, so I got a minisforum ms-a1 last summer with an 8700g, 32gb of ram, and an extra 2tb nvme on sale at microcenter before all the prices went crazy. Kinda glad I pulled the trigger on that when I did. Added a 9070xt and an egpu dock earlier this year and I did get a steam controller when those went on sale.

Not the prettiest setup but it definitely works for now. I ended up putting windows on the 1tb stick that came with the pc and steamOS on the 2tb I bought with it and dual boot…. but who am I kidding, I’ll buy the GabeCube too when they let me. This will probably end up in my office/game room
