Steam Client Beta Update Adds Several Features
The new version is available now for Steam beta users, and is packed with design changes. Most noteworthy is a new library menu, which puts a much greater emphasis on friend activity and games you own but haven’t actually played yet. Valve has also revamped individual game pages and provided faster access to your own profile.
You can try the new mode out yourself by opening Steam > Settings, then going to the Account tab and hitting the Change button under the Beta Participation section. Select “Steam Beta Update,” then restart the software. Finally, switch to Big Picture mode through the View menu.

UZl I need a good working PC but most are pricey atm. Might wait for the holidays
Wat. There are no set prices for PC's. Build your own if you want a gaming rig, you can spend as much or as little as you like.
