When are you planning to purchase? Do you care if you have to order from multiple vendors or would you want to pay a little extra to minimize shippers?

pre built.. like 99% sure has to be prebuilt lol

no assembly of any kind (except obviously putting on windows 8 etc)

no real time frame on purchasing.. a good deal over christmas would be great

may need to upgrade to 32gb ram if your projects are massive but should be good
that comp is a pretty good deal IMO

I think 16gb ram is fine for now

windows 8 is compatible with these newer computers?

ah i never even thought about gpu drivers and win 8.1.. curious as to why you're wanting to stick with an OS released in 2013? why not go to w11 if you like the block design?

anyways, looks like nvidia stopped supporting windows 8.1 after the 1080ti. so you'd have to find that for your best in slot gpu, and it's a 2017 card. therefore you'd have to find a used rig from 2017 most likely with a matching cpu.

I believe Microsoft stopped all CPU supports for Windows 8.1 around 2018/2019.. probably need to go with an 7th/8th gen Intel.. would be so much easier if you could build! Going to be difficult to find a prebuilt with the proper CPU I would think.
