Seeing this all laid out and being that my build comes out to close to $1,700 after the MicroCenter building fee like the ABS Cyclone and Skytech Azure, I wonder if I shouldn't just spent the extra $100 and get the [**PowerSpec G729**](https://www.microcenter.com/product/698738/powerspec-g729-gaming-pc)**,** which looks like a beast powerhouse comparatively.
But if you're willing to pay an extra $200 I would get this prebuilt https://www.microcenter.com/product/698738/powerspec-g729-gaming-pc Both prebuilts are good, but the bottom one is a genuine high end pc that smokes the PS5.
Well that prebuild u found is really nice definitely better than the parts I selected. Honestly if u are just getting into thw whole PC thing by yourself it might not be a bad idea to get a prebuild. It comes ready to go no need to deal with extra boxes and u get a warrenty on the whole computer so no need to try to diagnose issues yourself. Funny how just 6 months ago this would have been way worse idea but with the current market its a really good deal. Id say go for this prebuild for sure.
Monster PC at a good price, and you can still buy a Monitor and keyboard. This thing is a bit overkill for you, but a beast.
If you don't want to build it ^ if you want to build pretty much this is the best build in your price range

Microcenter and Costco have some pretty great prebuilts I hear, though I've not looked into them personally.
Microcenter prebuilts are often pretty good deals, since they're generally using off-the-shelf parts as well.
If you're near a Microcenter, they have some of the best bundle deals you can find for CPU, Motherboard, & RAM.
Other prebuilts have already been raised in price significantly and you'll usually be spending $400+ extra buying a prebuilt from almost anyone else... i.e. the usual markup for prebuilts.
Microcenter are still selling prebuilts with pricing closer to the price you would have paid a few months ago.
