Do not do that. in my view

I've been thinking about building a gaming PC for years and finally got around to it. Due to a lack of GPUs, I couldn't build my own for a reasonable price, so I went with a pre-built one, mainly because it had an RTX 3070. However, it had its price. On the first day, I had trouble running the FurMark GPU stress test for more than 2-3 minutes due to the graphics freezing. I figured I'd just play a few games and hope it worked well enough to ignore it. There were issues with UE-based games. An Nvidia driver update fixed this issue. (Bios is also outdated, hasn't been updated). Over the next few days, I continued to have problems such as: B. Loading but no video output, rebooting, etc. On the 4th day I tried to boot up the computer and there was a loud electrical popping sound coming from the power supply. It's completely out of order. Luckily, nothing else caught fire, so I swapped it out for a better 750W PSU and started gaming again. original quality. But for warranty coverage, you have to cover shipping, wait 3-4 weeks after they receive the device for repair, and the fine print says they have every right to determine if it's covered under warranty. So personally I was willing to learn a few things and spend a few extra bucks to fix it myself and avoid it all. from the box. The BIOS is outdated (it doesn't matter much but they claim to have updated the drivers to the latest version, which obviously they haven't). Even with a brand new PSU, I still had many sporadic issues. I've seen everything from freezes, crashes, BSODs to post/loading issues (no video, after crash, multiple crashes and reboots) and high FPS audio stuttering while gaming. I've even noticed a huge performance lag when using my web browser with no apps open. Sometimes it even loaded perfectly and ran flawlessly with graphics-intensive games. Every shoe was a dice roll in the damn thing. Might fail POST, might start Windows and crash, might start Windows but suck, might work perfectly. Can be any of the above at any time. Since I replaced the exploded power supply, my warranty is void. Now this thing is practically bricked up and won't boot at all and I've owned it for less than 2 weeks. The CPU temperature reached 88ยฐC within 3 minutes after the stress test while still running. I'm going to do a complete overhaul now and the ONLY part I'm leaving from this build is the GPU. Spent days fixing a bunch of issues and everything seemed to come down to either a bad mobile device or a bad processor. I can't say as I don't have a known working part to test as it was my FIRST computer. So I basically got an RTX 3070 for $2,000. I could pay outrageous prices for scalping and still save $500. Well it's a joke. This has to be the worst buying experience of my life.
