Your thoughts on both of these prebuilt and custom built pcs

Seems like you could just add the 8086K to your custom build and it be the better choice due to better quality memory and SSD and still cheaper.

The CyberPowerPC you have has default case fans selected, so I don't think it comes with the RGB fans shown in the pic.

Here, a custom build better than the CyberPowerPC with keyboard, mouse, and OS added.

*If building your own PC seems like a task you'd rather not take on, then sure the prebuilt would be an apparently better choice.

The prebuilt one seems to be more good but after reading volkgren i think might change my mind!

It really depends on what you want to do and what yo think your time is worth. If you have free time, and wanna save some money, build it yourself. I'm not sure exactly how much you k now about diy PC building, but it is really not that hard - it'll take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours, depending on how particular you are in relation to things like cable management, and how fast you are at building generally. If you want something that is easy, has a full warranty on the system (not just the individual parts), and you can have it shipped straight to your door, then get the cyberpower (and lose a bit of money). I personally would build it myself, but it is your choice.
 
Just throwing this out there, the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 memory you picked is C15, which means it should be able to run at 3200 or faster by increasing the CL to 16, which is where most 3200 kits run.

My LPX 2400 C14 has two XMP profiles, 2400 C14 1.2V and 2666 C14 1.35V and it overclocks to 3200 C16 1.35V. So the 3000 C15 has potential.

Also, on professional reviews and benchmarks the Vengeance LPX actually performs better than cheap memory with the same specs. They were testing AMD Ryzen CPUs in the review I saw though.
