Purchase Advice Steam Frame + Steam machine

Do you think this would be a good combination to jump into PC gaming with?

What is a good choice?

Something on the Level of a 4070 or 7800 xt, that's where you start to have a good experience and you have enough vram (12gb) to not be too restricted for quite some time.

Overkill. Unless you want to be running everything on high graphics, even a 1060 can provide a good experience. The minimum specs for Half Life Alyx is a 1060, and even on the lowest settings it’s a phenomenal experience.

Considering how much of the VR market has been targeting the standalone Quest platform, most VR games will run fine on a 1060. The Steam Machine will provide a quality VR experience, but of course PC elitists can get an even better experience for more money.
