I have a Steam Deck that is connected to my TV 90% of the time. I'd like to replace this with a PC that has maybe slightly higher specs than the Steam Deck. Are there any pre-built solutions that are really affordable?

I've always built my own PCs. And from my experience, it's worth not to be cheap on the parts. There is always a sweet spot or a special offer and the biggest task is to find it for each part.

If you're going to be cheap, you'll build a PC that lasts ~2 years.
