So I live in Serbia and everything is expensive and our salaries are low.
I wanted to build a pc with:
- i5 7500
- gtx 1060 6GB
- 1TB HDD
- 8GB DDR4 RAM
- 600W PSU
(I have never build a pc before)
Now in my country that would cost 1500$.I found a prebuilt PC like this and it has 240GB SSD along with my HDD and it costs 1000$ but everyone is saying that prebuilt is trash it's to expensive so I don't know.Plz help.
Sorry for my bad english.

same features for 1/3 less is worth looking at. pre-builts are not trash, they just tend to use lesser quality parts than you would use for a custom build.

but for the millions made and sold, not as many have issues. just know if you decide to upgrade later, you'll likely have problems. power supplies are not the best and probably won't be able to upgrade other stuff without problems.

if you link the pre-built system can look it over and see if it's decent or not

will be a cheap mobo and power supply but for the a locked cpu, it's not a big deal really.

can replace power supply down the line if need be and still be under a custom build if your prices are right.

for a 1/3 savings, i'd say go for it. not a bad looking case either
