If you are capable of building one. Then do so. You will get more for your money. Plus the prebuilt systems usually use the cheapest POS motherboard, PSU, RAM, Case, Storage, &c they can get away with to max out the CPU and GPU.
There are custom builders. Where you can choose your components. Which you'll pay a premium for.
These are a little over budget. They are killer builds.
