I would totally buy a ps5 if I could just use it as a steam machine.

The steamdeck is my most powerful system at the moment and i’m getting a stiff neck playing in handheld mode these days anyway.

So if im going to be plugged in, I might as well.

My other option is to get a gpu and use my home server that has an i7-8700.

That’s honestly, probably the way to go.
