PC RECCOMENDATIONS FOR DIFFERENT BUDGETS:
a few things to keep in mind: 
buy now, decide later - if you see something in stock that isnt normally in stock, buy it immediately. you can ask about it later and cancel/return if you have to. 
if something is readily available in stock its usually because its a bad deal. the one main exception to this is the hp 3060 prebuilt at best buy.

$2500+: go with one of the custom prebuilt sites like cyberpower or ibuypower and spec out something that fits your needs and budget, you can ask build advice if its good


prebuilt reccomendations: 
$400 - 800: see part 1
the following reccomendations are for one that will ship fast and youll be able to have them in a couple weeks
for long shipping ones there are some better deals but they are unpredictable, add the prebuilt role and check the number of upvotes and downvotes and what the comments say about it. as always you can ask build advice about it.
all of the following are at best buy which means use distill to monitor them. the 3060ti ones sell out very fast, other ones you should have at least 10 minutes
