Hello all! I am looking to purchase a PC to do some basic video editing with professional software (Adobe), and have been struggling to find the best option. I was initially looking at Macs, but cost steered me back to PC's, and now I can't decide between pre-built and custom builds. I am super intimidated by custom builds because I know next to nothing about computer parts, so the pre-builts give me much less anxiety ha. But, I would be willing to do a custom build if it's worth it (I've heard it's not so bad to figure out). Budget is around $1000, willing to go up to $1,300.
Anyways, here are the best couple of options I have found for pre-builds that meet a lot of the specs that seem to be needed. The problem is, I don't know what I'm missing if I go with them over a custom build, and if it will matter with the editing I'm doing (1080p, no or very little after-effects, hobby-level for now).

Obviously the Lenovo has more impressive specs (including the SSD), but the Dell is close and seems like a solid deal. Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated!
