I'm looking to stay in a $1600ish range, but I also want this to last a few years before I need to start upgrading parts

I haven't bought a PC in almost ten years so I decided to trust the Toprigz site that's pinned to the top of the sub. The first option was Microcenter and I'm over 4 hours away from the nearest one, so I went ahead and ordered from the second website which was mxzgaming. I assumed that it was at least somewhat vetted by whoever runs Toprigz but that was my mistake I guess.

So first off, I never got any kind of email confirmation after I placed my order and they took my money. The phone number on their site took me to a call center that blew me off and told me I'd get an email within 24 hours. That email never came, so I reached out through 3 different contact emails (the support@mxzgaming email bounced back as inactive so that's encouraging) and eventually got a response just confirming my purchase and shipping info. No tracking info though.

They emailed me again a couple days later to tell me that the PC I wanted was actually out of stock for 20 days and offered a replacement for the same price with worse specs. Oh, and the replacement PC wasn't even on their own website. It was an MXZ computer posted on Newegg.

I'm hoping they're just a scummy business and not a full on scam so we'll see if I manage get a refund, but do yourself a favor and stay far away from this company and their website.
