They have a number of system's listed under the Shadow 3.0 series, which one are you looking at? This one? If I were to build a system, I'd pick a DDR4-3200MHz or a DDR4-3600MHz dual channel ram kit. Quality of the PSU is not mentioned as is the case with the storage.

Too close to "SkyNet" ... Have to be concerned with them taking over the world

Yeah, no exact motherboard or PSU listing is a hard no. Like many budget Thermaltake cases, the airflow is poor, and you don't even get a proper base configuration to help the skimply airflow; all three of the fans included are in positions for exhaust.

For $600 after the GPU and CPU, I expect no serious yellow or red flags, and there are three here.

Basically, if you go the prebuilt route, go with something that allows you to evaluate every part. You worked hard for your money, so you want every component to be specifically identified for you to research.

And unless you go the boutique route that charges an even heftier premium but generally makes sure to get everything right (like Falcon NW), be as familiar with the parts as you can be ahead of time just in case you need to fix connections, cable management, etc.
