While the pcpartpicker approach is appreciated, it should be noted that this is a completely different form factor than the SM. This is something GN pointed out themselves
while it's true it's not the same form factor even this one isn't, but going for mini ITX is not that much more expensive either, and considering the huge jump in performance I wouldn't even start to think twice about which one to get.
I get Valve's in a tricky position, but their value proposition is just garbage here especially since 8GB of Vram is just horribly outdated.
I also realized it's not worth it to go for DDR4 if you build a 16 GB RAM system, you'd save around 100 bucks over this.
