It should work. But if you don't need something to carry around you could probably build a more powerful PC for the same price.
Honestly the LCD decks are so cheap, especially with sales, I don't think you could build a gaming PC for that price.
I know the virtual pinball community frequently recommends steam decks to power their pinball cabinets. I would assume that means it's pretty decent compared to other cheap PC options.
I guess they can also reuse the LCD.
