Needing advice here.

I originally wanted to wait it out and try my luck in getting a Steam Machine, but after watching a few suggestions about getting more power from a self build, I decided to overthink my strategy.

First and foremost what am I seeking.

1. Small Factor

2. PC that I can leave on my home office desk, but then stream PC games to my TV via Apple TV/Steam Link.

3. I don't need max performance and quality. Just want things to look decent.

4. I want to reuse some of the things I already have.

I currently have a small ASrock mini x300 with an AMD 5600G / 1TB NVME / 32GB DDR4-3200 and Noctua fan. This serves as my home server running docker services, but it is way overpowered for what it needs to do.

The plan:

1. Get a Deskmeet x300

2. Take 5600G, DDR4 and Noctua out of the mini and add it into the deskmeet.

3. Get a Power Color 9060xt

4. Install Bazzite and enjoy and pair the Steam Controller to it.

Concerns:

1. 5600G, there are better things, but already have it. My hope is that 9060xt will carry the burden.

2. PSU and temperature. I expect the box will be cramped and hot. I belive the PSU is also going to blast air inside the box. Are there better/smaller alternatives?

Does this sound like wise thing at all?

It may sound strange, but my primary wish to get Steam Frame is because of the possibility to project a screen and play all of my indie games, or stream some AAA titles from my PC. VR games don't really interest me that much.

I want this primarily so I could play stufd while lying in bed.

Am I the only one? Perhaps this is a bad use case?
