While browsing my options for a new PC, I've mostly taken building into consideration over buying a pre-built. However I'm a bit unsure about some things.
Here are two pre-builts I found, both highly rated, one for $649.99: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-ultra-desktop-amd-fx-6300-8gb-memory-amd-radeon-rx-560-1tb-hard-drive-black/6072200.p?skuId=6072200
and one for $799.99: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-ultra-desktop-amd-ryzen-5-1400-8gb-memory-amd-radeon-rx-580-1tb-hard-drive-black/5833100.p?skuId=5833100
For reference, my build I have planned so far is this:

I understand the first pre-built I linked to is running on an old CPU, although it would seem to me that the 2nd pre-built I listed is not only cheaper than my current build, but also includes some peripherals (mouse, keyboard) and reviews say it can handle modern AAA games at high settings.
My questions is, if I'm wanting to run games like Battlefield 1 and GTA V at high or ultra settings at 60 fps, which is the better option? I know pre-builts are only viable right now due to GPU prices, but is the one I listed any good? It seems the reviews all say it can handle most games on high settings at 1080p, and I'm on just a 60hz monitor.
Is there anyway I can bring the price of my planned build down to match that of the pre-builts while getting good performance?
Thoughts?
