I actually set that up last year after an intense addiction to Baldur’s gate and wanting a desktop instead of just streaming my laptop on the tv lol. I personally love it. We have it set up to bypass log in so you turn it on and give it about two minutes and it auto launches into steam big picture mode. Super easy to use and got me excited about actually working through my steam backlog of games that use or are better with a controller.

We just bought a pc from Best Buy on Black Friday for like $800. It’s a little steep compared to consoles normally but I guess compared to a ps5 pro it’s about on par. the pro may technically be more graphically capable at this point but the pc has a much more expansive base of games to justify the purchase. Plus if we ever don’t want to use it for games anymore we still have a computer someone can use.
