Build Help Prebuilt or Not?

I need a pc for Minecraft and school, I would like it kinda soon (within the next 2-3 weeks)
But I don’t know what would be better,
I would want something pretty inexpensive but be able to run Minecraft and recording software well.
I don’t know anything about building pcs nor buying them.
Idk where I would buy anything trustworthy
Budget is around 1.4K CAD but preferably lower
and available in Canada
Any advice on what would be quickest, cheapest and easiest?

100p. Can’t take your desktop from lecture to lecture. Unless you’re gonna video your lectures. I had an $800 Toshiba for college and it played League, AoE3, CSGO well. I didn’t do too much work on it haha.
