Building muscle comes down to three things — progressive overload, adequate volume, and recovery. A pre workout doesn't build muscle directly. What it does is improve the quality of the training that builds muscle. The ingredients that matter for hypertrophy are creatine, BCAAs (especially leucine), beta-alanine, citrulline, and caffeine — and the quality of those ingredients matters as much as the dose on the label.
