Torn between PowerSpec G757 prebuilt vs DIY white Lian Li O11 build.

Hey all. Quick preface. I’ve always wanted to build a PC but never could afford it. Just out of college and secured a decent job so I'm finally ready to start saving/looking for parts. I need some experienced eyes before I commit.

I mostly play competitive games like Siege and want to actually use the high refresh rate. Also Helldivers 2 and similar. On top of that I do heavy FL Studio production and I know it's the worst case for OLED burn-in but I'm accepting the risk. Monitor target is the Gigabyte MO27Q28GR Goal is a steady 280fps in AAA titles. I would love to future proof for 5ish years and rly treat myself.

Option A is the PowerSpec G757 prebuilt

Option B is a DIY white Lian Li o11 mini build based on the inspo attached (like exactly like it design wise but updated parts) https://imgur.com/a/leVkOHH

I’m stuck because the prebuilt is incredible value and gets me a 5080. DIY gets me the white aesthetic I've wanted for so long. A huge deal for me now would be the microcenter $699 bundle, but it uses a black motherboard and non-RGB black RAM. My logic is that if I'm settling for black parts I might as well just get the prebuilt since the whole point of going DIY at higher cost was the aesthetic.

Are there any white AM5 bundles I'm missing? And if you were me, which would you pick?

Appreciate any input. Thanks.
