Is building a PC to stream to a handheld a bad idea? (self.PCGaming)

I've always wanted to build a little PC, but I don't have space or time to play games other than on a handheld on the sofa. I've been playing Xbox Game Pass on my Retroid Pocket 3 Plus and it's been really good, but I'm wondering if a gaming pc streamed locally would be cheaper in the long run. It'd live under the TV and very rarely get used with a controller on the telly, almost always streamed to a little handheld.

Alternative is Steam Deck, which looks good, but tbh, it seems quite unweildly. Though I know it's possibly the right route.

Any thoughts?

I wonder if that was your fire stick or WiFi? I assume as I get decent performance on game pass that it would be ok for me.

Yes, I think my wi-fi is not ideal since my ISP forces me to use their router, but I didn't have time to try and get around it.
