i was surveying new desktop, with i5, 8GB RAM, gtx1650
i don mind prebult as my current near 10 years old pc also branded prebuilt
if with GPU budget around 3.5k, if no about 2.5k
will add self another 8GB RAM for 16GB

was checking some brand

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/lenovo-i...&freeshipping=1

but older gen cpu, less storage only 256GB

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/acer-asp...&freeshipping=1

but only got 4GB RAM

https://www.dell.com/en-my/shop/desktop-com...p/hdi38911150my

this look ok, offer ssd + 1TB HDD
say max support gtx1650, but no an option to select, or if can add my self, mean i need wait after GPU price normal back, is ok i can wait
and i read a lot of say Dell support very good? and Dell use own part which board, PSU cannot change own self?

why not xps? is over my budget 4k
why not wait 12th gen? is over price as i see, even DDR5 price also

For Dell prebuilts , the proprietary stuffs are:
1. Motherboard -> non standard form factor.
2. Power supppy -> non standard , especially the connectors and form factor. Not ATX , SFX or TFX
3. CPU cooler -> the holes are not the same as AM4 or Intel LGA spacing.
4. Casing - the power on button , reset connectors to the motherboard are proprietary.

The above stuff you have to buy replacements parts from Dell. Usually is refurbished only. Or used online from 3rd party seller.

Dell support is very good. I agree. Because even if u live in the jungles  of Borneo , they will do onsite support warranty service for u. But hopefully u get 3 yrs warranty , usually stuffs can fail around 1 1/2 years if u are unlucky.

Because of high price GPU, so i just searching any pre-built desktop come with GPU
about motherboard casing cannot replace that is no problem
If got i5 gtx1650 with 16GB i think coming 5 years i will not upgrade

Gtx 1650 is not going to last u for 5 years. All the available local 1650 are not even the super variant.
12400f +b660 ddr4 will serve u well. Just wait for Rx 6500xt or rtx 3050 and see how it goes.

No need high end, anything that better that my current GT1030 is enough
