As someone who does not play VR or any very specific emulation I have had 0 issues. Thus said you maybe should have look into your very specific use cases and driver support on whatever card you purchased before getting it. I have the 7900xt and adrenaline is not bad it’s got all the features I want because I don’t really play any raytracing games or cases like you are describing.

Lol, I would imagine it’s not that difficult to buy an office PC and throw a graphics card in it if finding an itx case and planning a build sounds like that much of a headache. At the point where you want a machine so specific and you are tired of building PCs why bother at all on atheistics? Just buy a console my friend no point in doing any sort of planning. If you want a machine that looks nice is small and runs multiple emulators then I’m pretty sure you are out of luck… Wiis be cheap and don’t look bad and you can mod them to run any sorta games just by getting homebrew on a thumb drive. Small form factor cases and the hobby of building computers are fun for some but it’s not everyones cup of tea.

Surprising it’s not too expensive! There are a few small form factor GPUs of the current generation that could absolutely crush any emulated game from the Wii and back. I would say one of the best is the 1650 super for the high end. Or if you are really budgeting a 1650 would suffice. Everything else is a matter of taste a few YouTubers are creating awesome PCs out of old office PCs that are tiny in comparison. If you are building from scratch ITX, can get expensive but since it’s a low power pc for your tv similar to a console the parts should not be bad especially going with last generation parts that would still blast through Wii at the highest fidelity and anything lower would run incredible based on the emulator.

After owning a AMD card for 6 months now I can say the software experience is solid. Really depends if you are playing games with or without ray tracing. I don’t really, so it’s really been pretty good overall.
