Need a prebuilt, but can't have it delivered to my home.

I need something I can either pick up in store, or have delivered to a store or other safe location. The tool for picking is giving me a bunch of stuff only available for delivery. Right now I'm looking at this.

It's the best I can find in the target price and performance range, but I'm open to finding something better. I do not live in reasonable driving distance of a Microcenter, but all the major big box stores with US east coast locations are close by.

Any good ideas?

I need a better desktop but can't meaningfully upgrade the one I have. What can I buy with a $1,500 budget?

So I'm currently working with a crappy Dell Inspiron with a 300W proprietary PSU and a small form factor case. The RTX 3050 6GB is just not doing it, and it's the best this thing can handle. I need a new desktop.

I built my own in the past, but the last time was about 18 years ago and I have not maintained my skills or kept .y knowledgeup to date. I'd rather buy a pre-built.

I just want something significantly better than what I have, and I don't want it to have crippling flaws that block future upgradability like my current desktop.

What can I do with $1500?

Need suggestions for a good case + motherboard + PSU

I've been using a repurposed Dell Inspiron 3910 (gifted. It was free) for gaming for a while, but it's being crippled by only being able to use only a small form factor slot-powered GPU. The 3050 is functional, but just not doing it for me.

I've gotten a bit of cash recently, and I should be able to afford to move the RAM (2 X 16GB DDR4) and CPU (i7-12700) to a better system. I need a case, power supply, motherboard, and a budget GPU that can substantially outperform my 3050.

I dislike RGB, but as long as I can turn it off I don't really care. I don't like glass panels, but I can tolerate it. I have zero interest in how pretty it is. A boring black box is fine.

I'm mostly concerned with it being compatible with my current parts that I want to transfer over, and being compatible with future upgrades for at least a few years.
