From my limited knowledge : pick a motherboard that takes DDR5 RAM ( Maby cheapt-out with 8GB and see if it works for the games you want ; you can upgrade that to 16GB+ very easily later ), and avoid Intel's CPUs because 13th and 14th gens have oxydation, stability, performance and longevity problems.
I don't know much about GPUs ( graphic card ) beyond that 8GB of VRAM is a ''soft minimum'' for demanding games, and they can use more than 8GB VRAM on higher setting.
Youtube and the Internet are full of tutorials and make sure all your parts are compatible. I would try building one if I had money to waste ( I already have a functional laptop that run some casual games ).
Before buying my laptop, I tried a prebuilt desktop, and it was blasting loud fans at idle. I noped out and refunded it.
If I'm paying more for a prebuilt, it's because I want it to work when I power it on.
TBH I don't think that's true anymore. Back in the day, yes, but low-end graphics cards are practically $700 alone.
I'm still using a GTX 1080. Honest to god it might be one of the best graphics cards Nvidia ever made. It's a little under a decade old and still crushing shit.

The two graphic card options he presents are close to $300 and have 12GB or 16GB VRAM, but obviously that number dosen't tell much by itself.
Checking a few benchmarks, the Radeon RX 6750 XT ( possible to find for ~$350 ) seems to perform much better than the GTX 1080, which isn't a surprise considering it's much more recent, and has 12GB of VRAM
The guy has examples for anywhere from $500 to $2500, but he obviously benefits from affiliate links through the platform he directs to, so there might be more ''bang for your buck'' options.
