So far, this is the prebuilt that seems the best for my budget atm. Please lmk if it's worth it: https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-I1416FV-Desktop-Bluetooth-GH1650I1400F01BA-U-W11/dp/B09YWPR96V/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I don't have too much to add other than, for the parts, that PC is excessively overpriced
i see, thanks a lot for the info
If you don't want to commit any time to researching prebuilt's, you're gonna pay for it, in the metaphorical sense
Prebuilts under $1000, in general, are pretty awful
I just wish to be able to play most esports titles with at least 60fps+ 1080p
You could do that for about $500-600 if you were willing to build it yourself
To preface - I'm not wholly against prebuilts. There's an appropriate time and place for them.
The problem with cheap prebuilts is more than the typical "it costs more than DIY" from prebuilts in general
To meet that price point, they have to cheap out a LOT on the non-flashy (but arguably way more important) components like the PSU and motherboard. You're essentially saving money now to have more headaches, bugfixing, and replacement parts later.
Not to mention both these lacking any mention of a warranty, one of the key reasons people buy prebuilts. You're completely on your own when some cheap ass part inevitably breaks.
My advice here is to either
A - Find the time to DIY at that budget
B - Keep saving up until you're at the ~$1250 price point, which allows you to buy from reputable prebuilt sellers with great parts and warranties
your words are beautifully said, I appreciate it. I will then most likely save until around the $1250 price point as you said, thanks for your time.
To add, SSDs can be cheaped out on too, as well as ram
