Valve have put up an official explainer on why we haven't gotten released dates or pricing for the new Steam Hardware like the Steam Machine and Steam Frame.
My 10 years old computer is already giving me signs of failure. If in the next months it dies, do you really think I’m gonna find 16gb ram at decent prices? Or a recent graphic cards under 200€? I’ll have to add one new motherboard too because mine being old means it won’t support much of what I’ll have to install.
As of today, if I want to keep the budget of my pc under a reasonable price, I’ll have to settle with something that probably won’t be able to output the last battlefield at 4k120fps.
But you know what? That’s fine, because I’m confident enough with the size of my dick not to need a computer that lets me brag about dumb numbers.
You don’t have to update all the parts at the same time. Sure, if your motherboard/cpu/ram fails you’ll likely need to replace all 3, but your current graphics card, PSU, case, etc should still be fine.
Plus, if you’re going from a 10 year old rig you could buy used DDR4 era parts on EBay or Facebook to save money and it’d still be an upgrade
