I'd go a bit further:  Unless you actually wanted to play some specific
Windows games, you're better off with a games box rather than a PC.  You
don't have to worry about hard ware compatibility, installation
headaches, viruses, trojans, etc., it just (generally) works.

Not to mention that if you like to take a box around to a mates place to
play network games, one simple console box is easier to lug about than
PC, plus keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers...
