That looks suspiciously like ibuypower, or maybe cyberpower.
General advice you'll get on these forums is
1. Don't buy cheap boutique. THey are infamous for using refurbished/used parts.
2. They never give you exact componenets used. 1 DDR3 1600 RAM =/= another. We recommend specific parts because they are the best price/performance. You have no control over this w/ cheap boutique.
3. If it is Cyberpower or Ibuypower, their 3 year warranty means ***. Any issues take months to get resolved and you end up spending hundreds on dollars in shipping, etc.
Check their Better Business Bureau or Resellerratings pages.

4. Cyberpower is especially known for cheap PSU's that blow up entire systems.
5. If you must go boutique, go Main Gear, AVA Direct, Puget Systems or Digital Storm.

Their warranty is meaningless. If it breaks you pay shipping back to them, and then back to yourself, ~$150. Most people report comps being sent back w/o issues fixd months later and they end up having to spend money again to send it back to them again.
A company can give you a 100 year warranty and it's useless if they don't actually honor it and instead you spend months arguing with them over the phone.
Other companies like Puget will give 3 year warranties where if there's an issues they'll have a tech in your home the next day, or they'll pay for 2nd day shipping back to them, fix the issue and 2nd day it back to you.
Read BBB and resellerratings before you buy a computer from any company.
Read cyberpowerpcs's reseller ratings page. There have been people who literally had their 1 year warranty expire before a broken computer shipped to them got fixed.

Which is why we tell people to just build their own systems.
AVA Direct's computers are actually pretty close in price to cyberpower if you go through custom desktop instead of gaming.
