Hello all. I am not sure where to put my question so apologizes in advance. I found this PC on sale and I was unsure if this would be a good buy. Can someone help me out here please? My PC buddies said this is a bad buy because the company is unknown and there are no reviews of said PC. Here are the specs and the link to the product.

I wouldn't say it's a BAD buy, but for them to say "not generic memory" should be a red flag. If it's not generic, why not just say the brand?

If you wanted, you could build your own sans Windows 10 Pro key

It's Gskill Ripjaws Memory.....Not Generic very very good modules.

Inwin 303 Case Thermaltake RIING Fans , has very good choices.

4 x 120mm Thermaltake High Static Pressure Circular Ring RED LED Fan with Low Noise and Anti-Vibration

I own the case and a bunch of the same fans.

I guess I should have zomed in. I have those same sticks in my build. If that's the case, then go for it. The motherboard looks like a Gigabyte as well with a Zotac card. This is not a bad deal. However, wish I know what PSU it was, since that could make or break the build.
