Do the parts fit together?

No problems found. We only check what the stores' listings say. "Check fit" means they don't tell us, so look before you buy.

Check fit The case's listing doesn't say which motherboards it takes. Make sure the case takes a Micro ATX motherboard.
Check fit We don't have the graphics card's length or the case's clearance. Compare the card's length with the case's maximum before you buy.
Check fit We don't have the cooler's height or the case's CPU cooler clearance. Compare them before you buy.
OK The processor and the motherboard are both AM4.
OK The memory and the motherboard are both DDR4.
OK 750W covers the 550W the RTX 3050's maker recommends, with room to spare.

Windows 11 Home license: $139.00 (Microsoft's price; leave it out if you already have Windows)

Prebuilt or build it yourself?

What the prebuilt includes: The prebuilt comes fully assembled and ready to use. It includes Windows. You get one warranty that covers the whole PC, and one support contact if something goes wrong.

Where it may cut corners:

The prebuilt doesn't list its motherboard, power supply, CPU cooler, or case—you don't know the exact quality of these parts
The power supply is 750W 80 PLUS Bronze, which is basic but enough for this graphics card
The CPU cooler is a simple air cooler, not a high-end cooler

Time and skill: Building from parts takes 2 to 4 hours if you've never done it. You need to learn how to install a processor, memory, storage, graphics card, and power supply into a case. Many first-time builders find online guides helpful.

Our take: Buy the prebuilt. You save $1,361, and you get a PC that's ready to game the same day. Building it yourself costs more than twice as much. The prebuilt's parts are not high-end, but they work well together for gaming.
