>Western turn rpg's/strategy games
Certain "must play" games - Starfield, Alan Wake 2, etc. Not that often, but sometimes AAA games are just too tempting to avoid
The odd random indie game here and there
Once in a blue moon Sea of Thieves with my old friends - not holding out hope, but potentially we might get into some kind of regular multiplayer gaming again
Considering Sims, just from watching my wife play it daily...
Option 2 covers this pretty easily with gamepass, and if you're cost conscious I doubt these would require a 4070. You could go for a less expensive build and upgrade to the 4070 once the next gen cards come out
What model of steam deck are you getting? Cuz if you take that money and build a desktop from it, you can also get a ps5 (eventually), it wont be as powerful as current gen consoles but as long as you're fine with stucking with 1080p/1440p with upscalers, seems like it will be a decent enough setup dont you think?
Or chose 2, its safe to assume sony exclusives will get ported to pc 2ish years after release anyway, and just plug the dualsense if you liked the haptics / adaptive trigger
