Im new to gaming and i see that ill be saving 100$ going for the build option but how much better is this custom build.
 
Solution
The video card in the custom build will crush the one in the pre-built, but the CPU is better in the pre-built. lol. I would get a different CPU for the first build.

Basically, whats your budget, lots of people here will put together the best build possible.

So Id be better off to switch the cpu and go for the custom build? What cpu do you reccomend for a similar price?
