run gta 5 on max settings, if it crashes, your pc is not good, if it handles it well, you got a good deal

Don’t buy premades. Built one yourself.

Facts are that premade have shit side components, thus they bottleneck the main components.

Buying prebuilts are fine if you're not confident in knowing all the components you need and/or building one yourself. You do have to be wary about what Ghast said though, if the prebuilt has lots of detail in listing its spec it will be okay for you. However, if you're buying one that only has the details: Intel i5, GTX 1060, 16gb RAM, you should stay far, far away. Building your own will always be better, but many people don't want to build their own or go through the hassle of it.

Are there pictures of the inside of the pc and cable management? Including the back of it

 

[Lexxonist]

It's probably better value to get a custom pc built from a service that does so. Just last week, I saw an ad for a gaming pc for like $1400 AUD that had components worth $800 AUD in building it yourself.
