my gut would say to build, but that's because I find building my pc's to be fun and the price savings is just a bonus.

also I think we need more info.
are you willing to change your build if we can help you chose better parts?

Yes I’d change my build but I want to stay under $550.

what do you plan to do with this computer? just game or also work?

here's something I came up with, I know it's 20$ over budget but I think going from 16GB of ram to 32 is worth 20$.

also the 1TB NVME SSD will be fine for now. I say later on get yourself a like 2-4TB hard drive to go with it.

also yeah, the RX 6600 even beats the RTX 3050 8GB let alone the fact that the prebuild probably only comes with a 4/6GB 3050
