Those are the only options I have because it's a prebuilt desktop and that's what they offer on iBuyPower.

Go on and build it yourself, then you wont be bound to the choices iBuypower makes.

You have this community to answer all your questions.

I already have before it went well. I'm now a full time student and I work full time. I don't have the spare time I used to. That's why I'm getting a pre built.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

If you insist on a prebuilt pc go for the LianLi Lancool II.

Its the only one of them that has decent arflow and will allow for decent cooling.

Again if you plan to stream and game, you'll have enough time to build a PC.

I dont see your problem...

Spare time?? Bud it will take you tops 4 hours to assemble your own pc. Not really a valid argument you have.

I'm not gonna argue on why it's better to build it yourself, seems that you have already made your decisions to buy  a pre-build. Like some has suggested, get the Lancool II. Most pre-build comes with a crap PSU so make sure you get a quality one.

Also I would like to add that those 4 hours that you would invest in building a system is part of the experience it is by no means painful if anything it's fun

The only one I'd pick over the Lancool 2 for ventilation purposes only is the Enermax Sabery, assuming it comes with the optional mesh front paneling shown in the standalone Case listing

image.png.96d11a8e0f53db95e477fbd272d97cfe.png

https://www.amazon.com/Enermax-ENERMAX-Saberay-White-ECA3500WA-RGB/dp/B07KTKP437

 

However, the Lancool 2 will have better features and build quality, so I'd still likely choose that over the Enermax anyways, as Lian Li is developing a better front panel for the Lancool 2 which could potentially be swapped in in the future.
