The Hobbyist

I have been following on and off, sorry if you’ve already covered it, but what makes it into your backlog? Do you daily select a game you feel like playing from your list of owned games, or do you have an objective of finishing select games before going to the next one?

Gruezi, I built my own steam machine, with the following specs:

• AMD ryten 7 5800X cpu
• 16GB DDR4 leftover memory (2666MHz)
• AMD RX 9070 XT graphics card (they’re a great deal at the moment compared to other graphic cards, great bang for bucks e.g. https://www.brack.ch/acer-grafikkarte-predator-bifrost-amd-rx-9070-xt-16g-oc-1841447)
• Lian-Li A3-mITX case (can accomodate graphic cards up to at least 32cm)
• asrock b550M pro-4
• be quiet pure rock slim 3
• lian - li edge gold 850W PSU (I bought this as it was advertised SFF on galaxus but it is in fact a regular ATX, which still fits but prevents graphic cards of 32cm or larger, mine just barely fit).

The main difference with the steam machine is that it is larger, does not have HDMI-CEC (which turns on your TV automatically when the pc turns on, but I don’t mind), or the official valve support, but frankly, my experience with steamOS has been stellar, I’ve run it for multiple months and I really love it. But with the official steam controller (which I’m also waiting on) I’m sure my experience would be close enough to perfect for myself. Good luck!
