I have a Steam Deck that is connected to my TV 90% of the time. I'd like to replace this with a PC that has maybe slightly higher specs than the Steam Deck. Are there any pre-built solutions that are really affordable?

Define affordable, and also what you want out of it, 4K? High framerates? 1080p?

In general I'd say, unless you're willing and able to spend 7-800+, the steam deck is giving you the best value to performance for "out of the box"/prebuilt.

If you want something better with any hope of approaching the price point of a steam deck you'll have to build your own PC
