I think both conversations are worth having. It's important to point out that this will underperform compared to the PS5, and cost quite a bit more. But also, it's good to know what performance improvements can come from upgrades, since that's an advantage PCs have over consoles. It lets you buy a base version now, and get a more powerful version without having to buy an entirely new machine later. Granted, it still doesn't make the steam machine a smart financial decision.
