Not sure I would go with any of the above. If this is a prebuilt, I wouldn't touch any of those with a 10 foot pole. Anyone who says " 500W 80+ High Performance Power Supply" or " 8GB DDR4 2400MHz High Performance Gaming RAM with Heat Spreader" without naming specifics is definitely trying to screw you over. Brand X parts are *NEVER* good to have in a modern PC, ever. I have never heard of that make or model of case, you have a no name PSU in all 3 builds, and you should be getting at least 16GB of RAM from a major name brand. How much are you looking to spend?

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Your scepticism is understood, here is a link to the site.
https://www.evetech.co.za/amd-ryzen-5-1600-workstation-pc/best-pc-deal/2650.aspx
It is a well-known component shop here in South Africa, but they do have a habit of leaving out Brand Names in some of their products. Looking to spend about R12000 +-$900.

You would definitely get screwed on the case and PSU. That PSU would not power any decent GPU should you decide to upgrade, and that case looks to be of the cheap plastic variety.

Thanks for the timely warning. I email the company to enquire about the components regarding the brand names, compositions and warrantees. Waiting to here back from them. The Thread is updated, would you please take a look at it again.
