I’ve looked at pre-built … and they’re not that much cheaper. Worst aspect is that they inevitably come with all kinds of pre-installed crap (like Norton AV or McAffee … ).

Once again: not wrong there but a pre-build is already build. So unless you enjoy the building process it saves you a lot of time. Plus they are usually checked for any major flaws. So you just take it out of the box, turn it on. See it if works, turn it off again and just re-install a fresh windows 11. You’d need to do that on a self build system anyway so nothing lost

PSU can never be oversized. Well build PSU will even save you some money on the electricity bill because the less power you need to pull (during idle for example) the higher the efficiency is. cheap, lower spec PSU tend to “burn” Watt in the conversion process from 240V AC to 12V and 5V DC.
