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?

Its possible to find pre-built that are decent value. Browsing through newegg just now, there are some for ~$800 with a 4060, which is not a terrible value. Just do some research, see what CPU and GPU are good values and available already built. Also you'll want to determine whether you want ray-tracing, and to focus on getting an Nvidia GPU if you do. Just try to read the descriptions to make sure you get all the features you want, some motherboards on prebuilds are the bare minimum, so no wifi or bt like my example, which apparently comes with a wifi usb adapter lmaoo.
