You will totally hear this elsewhere as well, but you should totally build your own PC. I watched about four or five YouTube builds and used PCPartpicker to build the PC. It gives you compatibility etc, so you can “fake” build and build until you find what you like. Plus, it saves a ton of money over buying a pre-built system, and you can upgrade yourself when needed.
I had never touched computer “insides” before and it was way easier than I had ever imagined. I have now built four PCs over the past three years.
