It is a bigger, don't have the Steam Controller dongle integrated, and you need to manually install SteamOS on it.

But you get a machine that can be upgraded way more easily than the Steam Machine, and a better GPU from the start.

8GB is plenty for 1080p. Especially since you're not actually rendering at 1080p. And it's RDNA4 vs 3, so it's a more powerful chip in general.

B650 is fine but I didn't look too closely at the specific mono model. 350W PSU is what stood out to me as a major issue since pcpp lists ~307W power usage. 350 isn't nearly enough.

    350 isn’t nearly enough.

    Yea you get a single spike in power draw and that PC crashes. No way that shitty PSU can handle peak power draw if both CPU and GPU kick in at once

    At ~310 estimated usage you'd probably want at least a 450 to be safe I think.

    With only 350 you'd probably need to undervolt or set power limits, which beyond obviously limiting performance (but at least something the Steam Machine suffers from too) isn't exactly "it just works."
