Can’t afford a gaming rig, use AWS

I have actually done something like this for running windows tools in Linux.  The author basically created an AWS instance with Windows 2012 server, added in the NVIDIA video card module, and streams the games from steam back to his home computer.  It costs $.54 an hour but thats cheaper than the $1000 to build it himself.  If you are a serious gamer, you want to build, else for a parttime one, this maybe a good alternative.
