So the Steam controller and Link should remove the final remnants of console clutter from your TV cabinet. 1080p and 60 FPS is only a dream for you consolites.
Wake-on-lan (WOL) features mean that, from complete power off (S5 at least), just turning on a Steam controller switches your TV input, wakes your computer and loads you into Steam...the convenience of a console on your PC.
The Steam controller allows you to use the PC in gaming mode (big picture mode) as per the consoles or PC mode as per your normal desktop, without needing to switch control type and without the hideous inaccuracy of a standard console controller (for mouse like actions). Entire genres of games that consoles do not handle well and yet are perfect for playing on the couch (with or without friends) are now open to you without a cumbersome device laden sofa.
You can customise (or your friends) controls to suit any playing preference you (or they) have and fine tweak every setting you could realistically need to improve your gaming experience. It's not perfect (yet) and does require initial setup for your games but the results are miraculous. I've even found a perfect setup for racing games and the idea of going back to a standard controller after is laughable! (tapping the stick to turn corners always felt rubbish).
Your decision should be quite easy. Not paying to play online, not paying premium prices for games, not locked to specific hardware and I don't have problems with backwards compatibility. Oh and the link allows you to use the Steam, Xbox, PS4 or whatever controller you want (simultaneously I might add) and all from a box no bigger than a portable external HDD.
All that is left for the consoles are the 1 or maybe 2 exclusives you might want to play in a year...and that just isn't enough to even feel like you're missing out. For me, the consoles have been outconsoled by the PC! I just think it's a shame many will ignore it because they simply don't understand or haven't the patience (maybe brain power) to learn a new control technique.
Oh and the PS4 sucks, the XBone has a stupid name, PC gaming is great and the final question for you to answer is;
What excuse have you got for not switching to the glorious PC master race?
