I think the guy looking for a PC saud he didn't have microcenter near, but this is another deal that popped up:

$700 and you have to provide your own CPU, RAM, and drive.

I figured it was probably more expensive getting the pre-built.  
I'm just uninformed at this point and need to do research.
 
 
It was this guy. and you pick whatever addons.

I'll chime in to say a few more things:

1. Prices continue to go down, so if you can wait another month or two you might be able to snag a prebuilt desktop with more memory at the same price.

2. Not sure if you are looking at laptops, but right now I've seen several laptops with a 5800H CPU and 3060 GPU for under $1000. According to this review, that combo performs pretty well:

So, that might be something to consider where you'd get something more powerful than a steam deck but with some portability.

I'm echo what the squatch said. It'll depend and sometimes it is noticable sometimes not. I have a giant case and run 2 NVMEs (1 PCI 4 (Samsung 980), 1 PCI 3 (Gigabyte)), I also have a Samsung 970 Evo SSD, Toshiba 5TB HDD, and a bunch of Hitachi refurb 7200s. The jump between the HDD, SSD, and NVME was noticeable each time on KF2, but that game takes forever for initial load. On other stuff, the differences are incremental. I think once you're in SSD territory, the jump to NVME is not as huge.

Still waiting on my steam deck email. I'm so back and forth on getting it vs saving that money for a decent 1080 60fps capable desktop cause I alread have a nice 2k monitor I use for work..(no idea on cost for that pc as I'm a console gamer) My mind changes each week though.

About $1000 will get you a 1080p prebuilt. You would just need to add more RAM.

I don't think you'll be able to build your own for much less. 3060TIs will be around $500 the future so that would leave $500 for everything else. Prebuilt also comes with a warranty.

The flow of time itself is convoluted; with heroes centuries old phasing in and out.
