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

Steam Machine is faster

Around +300% GPU and +65% CPU compared to this build

It's closer to a Steam Deck

Absolutely. This system isn't a high performer, however it is extremely quiet as the fans rarely ever need to turn on.
