Aleksander MajjamYuna SakashiroCredit where credit is due. I didn't expect Disney to be able to pull this off, but here we are. "Andor" is the best Star Wars ever. No Jedi, no Sith, no light sabers, no gaping plot holes, no Mary Sue, no cute, no cringe, no "message". Star Wars for adults. Refreshing!
Warning: Kind of spoliery if you're not caught up.
Is this the actual trailer you posted? It looks more like a bad remake of a worse 1980s TV show. Mind you I'm talking about the trailer, I haven't watched the show, and after seeing this, I'm not sure I'd want to.

Star Wars as done in the style of the Buck Rodgers TV series. The only thing missing was a droid going, "Beedee, beedee."

I browse the pre-builts to see what's available and compare to what I can do with the same money. Then I build one I like and budgeted for.
The difference is you get to pick up the parts while they are on sale, or part of a deal that goes with something else you want -- for example discount codes from buying games and such.

...and it's more fun.

ChallengeI usually build my own. And I am at a point when I have to; poor thing is getting <gotten> old. It's slipped from Recommended to minimum.

Yeah, my last one I got was a prebuilt about 6 years ago from Cyberpower. Not a bad rig at all, but just can't handle top graphics and unoptimized games of the present. I'm pretty excited to try my hand at building, but ever so worried about screwing it up.

He bought a new PC just recently but had the dealer assemble it this time. Core i7, RTX 3070, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD. Cyberpunk 2077 looks spectacular on it.
I plan to keep my old i5/1070/16/HDD rig a bit longer and then maybe choose a 4070 or 4060 next year when they become available.
