About to buy this pre-built. Curious if building could yield a better PC
Hi all. I'm fairly rusty when it comes to PCs and I was looking into pre-builts. [I found this pre-built from Newegg](https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-002D-000G7?Item=9SIAZBDKCS4716&cm\_sp=product-\_-from-price-options) using [toprigz.com](https://toprigz.com/) that seems to be capable of doing everything I need a desktop to do. Before I was about to pull the trigger on it, I got to thinking if a new build would be a better deal than this one. If someone could give me a recommendation that'd be very appreciated.
