Why premade and what's your budget?

It's very easy to build a PC, it's what I'd always recommend.

Both of those are crap prebuilts, esp for the price.

I wouldn't take the Victus one, it's 15L and has no air flow..

For the games you listed that you play, the Pavilion is the best option with the i7 10700F+1660 Super. Some would say it's starting to out date itself as it's a couple generations old, but that unit will slap..

With like most pre-builts, the air flow usually sucks so just keep that in mind your system will def run hotter/louder than a custom build

Starforge Horizon Pro PC is $1199.99 USD and they charge $20.00 to ship to Canada... it's i5 11400F+RTX3070, with validated components. Would just add a 1tb ssd storage.

It's nice but the price is too much imo

No Wifi 6
No M.2 NVME

As long as you're happy with it, I'd go for it

Another solid prebuilt company is Lenovo, their legion series are decent
