I'm considering building a PC with similar specs to a Steam Machine, but I wonder if that's more cost-effective compared to just buying one when they're released. I'm located in Canada, so I'm also curious about the price differences with the current market trends. Any thoughts on whether building my own setup would be cheaper or worth the hassle?

If you're looking for a portable gaming solution, you might end up spending more to build a small form factor PC. Buying a ready-made Steam Machine could be worth it if that's what you're after. Just make sure you’re ready to jump on those preorders because they might sell out fast!
From what I've heard, the Steam Machine isn't expected to be cheap, especially with the rising costs of components like memory, GPUs, and SSDs. Honestly, if you're thinking about building a PC, it might be better to do it sooner rather than later before prices go up even more.
It's hard to give a straight answer since we don't know the final price of the Steam Machine yet. If you can find decent deals on components, building might come close to their pricing. If you want something compact like the Steam Machine, it could make more sense to buy it instead. It all depends on how good of a deal you can snag on parts.
