Is this regarded as a strong system?
I'm considering purchasing this system but unsure if it qualifies as a strong Gaming PC. I usually need detailed specs for this type of question, but I only have a general idea. For the monitor, I'm looking into this option:
The details of the PSU, motherboard, cooler, RAM, and case are missing. The case appears to have a glass panel covering the front fascia, restricting fresh airflow and potentially blocking the fans from drawing in cooler ambient air. Most components are listed in general terms. I would prefer to assemble a system myself using readily available parts, especially given recent issues with Intel's products. If you can build your own or have a local shop that assembles PCs, please share your follow-up post here with any questions you have.
*How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice*
This adaptation comes from the original *How To Ask For New Build Advice* on Animal. I made it because many people are seeking upgrade guidance both here and in CPU forums, and I believe...
Approximate Purchase Date:
This week is ideal, if not the best time.
I’m looking for the best deal possible.
Budget Range:
For example, $300 to $400 before or after rebates; $1000 to $1500 depending on shipping costs.
I plan to purchase other peripherals separately.
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
For instance, Folding@Home, gaming, internet browsing, movie watching.
Gaming (Star Wars: Outlaws is likely my most demanding game)
Are you purchasing a monitor? Yes.
Overclocking is more than likely.
SLI or Crossfire: No indication of what this means!
😀
And the main reason for the upgrade:
For example, I’m experiencing issues with game X or my power supply is failing.
My current PC has no gaming capabilities (Xe card).
Please note I’m new to computer technology, so keep your responses clear and straightforward.

If you're looking to get a prebuilt PC it's usually best to ensure it's a reputable vendor. There are a lot of decent systems available, but it can be somewhat hard since retailer searches are usually junk.
Here's a filtered list from Newegg which hopefully can at least give you some ideas:

It seems you're highlighting two points: (1) be cautious of Yeyian because it wasn't part of your selection, and (2) question whether Amazon offers trustworthy products.
It's a new company with no real history that appeared during the pandemic. This isn't the only one like it. I wouldn't think about joining anything from such a company, nor would I suggest it to others. Amazon and Newegg both offer a wide range of products—Amazon excels in search functionality, making it easier to find what you need. It's likely Amazon has many similar items available, while other retailers will also provide comparable choices.
