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?

You'll need to define a budget for "really affordable", but it's going to be hard regardless to match the price performance of the deck. Is $700-$1000 affordable? That's probably the ball park for a mid-tier prebuilt. You maybe be able to get lower with an Intel Arc option (HP has some of these at $600)
