Build AdvicePC Components (Final Chance)
I tried to clear this from my mind. Are these PC builds suitable? Or are they just waste of time?

The main worry is setting up the AIO, I haven’t tried it before and still feel a bit anxious about that...
Also, how do the Western Digital SN850X compare to Samsung’s 980 Pro? Is there any real difference?
And regarding pre-built gaming PCs (like Corsair) – are they worth purchasing or should I build them myself? The reason I mentioned this is because I don’t have a nearby micro-center, which is frustrating... [Welcome to Seattle, a tech hub that lacks a micro-center, right?]. The nearest option is BestBuy, but they might not have everything I need for a full build.
Then I found the Corsair i7400 PC (pre-built) with the 13700k and RTX 4080 on both Corsair’s site and Best Buy. It’s a close alternative to a micro-center. I’m weighing the pros and cons, but I’m still undecided...
They're both decent options, though you didn't specify the budget for your project, in which case both are around $3,000. What's missing is the mention of adding a secondary drive or storage to the more expensive model? Since you stick to the AIO manual instructions, it should work fine. Making a PC with ready-made components helps you understand what's included.
Great builds!
If you prefer not to use white, I recommend going with a black build and saving some money.
I suggest this PSU:
it comes with a 16 pin connector, ATX 3.0 and tier A

If you’re okay with using third-party tools such as SignalRGB or Open RGB to determine the addressable RGB values, it can help reduce expenses:
Search for 70A and higher in VRM caps on motherboards.
Find 6000mhz CL 32 fast RAM sticks.
Select an ATX 3.0 PSU with 16-pin connectors.
Choose cases offering strong airflow, ARGB fans, and a front panel design.
Consider a backup black build:

In my defense, white motherboards are quite rare to find or purchase for me (often very expensive). My current setup has limited micro-center options, mainly Bestbuy, which isn't great. I really need more VRAM in the GPU. Would an RTX 3090 with a 1000W PSU be sufficient, or should I stick with what I have?
