Why buy a pre-built, when you can build your own (case/MB/mem/processor/power supply/gpu/etc.) with better quality parts for much cheaper?

Indeed, considering quality plus no bloatware. Below is a quite capable low-cost build for under $500, wih 65GB RAM, not incld. OS or peripherals. May all be used for Good in the sight of God.

Not seeing a video card, either.

Decent budget build! I don’t remember if that cpu and mobo combo needs a video card?

I typically buy a mid grade video card to accommodate a 4k monitor, I usually have 2 connected.
