I was mildly disappointed with Vavles pricing, so I told my nephew i’d make him a Bazzite system. He plays simple games.

Specs: Ryzen 4650G 450W PSU B550 Asrock ITX board 16GB DDR4 @3600MT/s 1TB PCI-e 3.0 Nvme Coolermaster 240 AIO (somehow crammed in) Silverstone SG-13 case

    What was the total damage on all that? DDR4 would save some money, but 1TB Nvme isn’t cheap.

    Just curious how custom builds really are comparing to the steam machine.

      It was $540. But admittedly, the ram came before the AI apocalypse. So it’s probably closer to $700 now. All off ebay, except the case & PSU.

      edit

      Missed you comment on the performance difference to the steambox. It’s bad. The 4650G isn’t great. Played deep rock galactic at maybe 45 FPS.

      I haven’t done benchmarks, but it’s about the speed of a GTX 1650, but being AMD it works much better on Bazzite (Linux)

      double edit

      I have about 10 nvme drives of varying sizes from before. The 1TB drive cost me $70 (about $78 after tax) before the shitstorm.
