Just build one yourself, cheaper and makes it easy to upgrade again in a few years (At least you will know what to do and have the self confidence).

eh pre built or home built upgrading parts should be the same ease as long as they are not like welded in by the prebuilt manufactur (what will never happen xD)

I meant more that OP and his brother will know what do as you have done it before (Though proprietary components are a thing, especially from tier 1 vendors like Dell).

Eh not really true, upgrading is easilrnthen getti g a whole rig build.

 

Putting in a gpu and ram and could is like Legos.

 

Finding where all the onbord connectoers go can be a pain exspeciaky when your mobo manual is wrong. 

 

You should be able to watch a youtbe video and know exactly how to do it

You should ALWAYS build a custom PC yourself, especially here.  $650 is already a low price for a custom PC with low profit margins, take a prebuilt and that is a really low, unbearable price.  Plus, it's nice to have a PC you built ourself compared to one assembled by robots or minimum-wage workers in a dark factory.

To be honest though, for a prebuilt at this price point, that PC is actually pretty decent.....

so heres the thing i build pc's alot.... so his father is my not so step father (hes divorced with my mom) and his father ABSOLUTELY hates me... so the chance of building him a pc is litterally slim to none

[Lilninjsways]

and i would love to build him one but due to his father hating me more than anyone he needs a prebuilt and i guess i will just upgrade it after a while...

I dont see any other option then, buy the pre-built then if you must. It would be good if you can try to convince his farther that its for his sons benefit, but I dont know your family situation (you could direct him to this thread to show that others agree at least).
