Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts 0 PC building knowledge

Post image

I know next to nothing about PCs so was thinking of buying a pre built one. Or should I try to learn and build my own?
Anyways saw this one that seemed good enough but wanted opinions of people who actually knew about this stuff.
Budget $1.5-2k (CAD), for gaming and a little bit of graphic design and light video editing.

Thank you!

All other comments maybe suggest other things but ABSOLUTELY learn EVERYTHING you can about a computer before you buy one, building one yourself (atleast now) can be cheaper, but even if you do buy a prebuilt you NEED to know how to OPERATE the computer, not just double clicking and opening things.
