I'm trying to find a good prebuilt gaming PC and I'm really starting to hate reviews. Every time I find a computer I like, I find a bunch of reviews saying how bad it is.

Also recommending PCPartPicker, which lets you select compatible components, so you don't accidentally get things that wouldn't work together. It's not 100% guarantee, but it's served me really well over the years.

Yeah, it's a good tool for sure but I'm still recommending they go with a prebuilt just a more 'fine-tuned' one so they don't need to worry about compatibility. If you can choose the two options together on the custom PC company's site then they are compatible. But it's definitely the best way to tally up how much a comparable PC would cost you if you put it together yourself.
