If you could link to the website and list what brand is configuring the PC for you, that would be great. The company is charging you about 250 dollars for assembly of those parts, which isn't an unreasonable amount. What gave me pause was the power supply from Thermalright, a brand known for making cheap coolers, not quality power supplies, and the abhorrently cheap memory with the lack of storage in the system.

For nearly two thousand dollars one terabyte of storage from a mid tier SSD manufacturer is unacceptable, when they could throw a two terabyte hard drive in there for another ten dollars. WD makes fine SSD's but Samsung and Sabrent make the best by far, and to go with anything else is only to save a couple bucks on their part. They also specced your memory poorly, giving you terrible speeds and extremely high latency. DDR5 has been out of years now, and again, the fact that they went with the slowest DDR4 kit they could find to save a buck is a bit of a red flag. It would have been better on their part to go with a reputable power supply manufacturer, as opposed to Thermalright, who has no experience.

Of course these companies are going to cut costs somewhere, but they seem to be doing it in all the wrong places. I would stay away from this system, and stay away from their brand entirely if it's one you randomly found while scrolling Amazon. If you don't have the experience to build your own system, or don't want the hassle, stick with established boutiques like Maingear, HP, Origin, or NZXT. They are a little more expensive, but it's worth the extra cost to buy your system from an established brand.

If you're looking for somewhere to start, I would look into the Player Two Prime from NZXT. It's 150 dollars more, but for that price, you're getting a faster video card, memory with much lower latency, double the storage, and includes a legitimate copy of Windows. Hope this helped, take care.

the majority of the components are lower quality,
Windows is not activated,
i would avoid this setup.
