This website claims to have "X4 5350", "X4 5150, "X4 3850", and "X2 2650" processors available for purchase, which is false, as they don't exist. These processors are actually called the "Athlon 5350", "Athlon 5150", "Sempron 3850", and "Sempron 2650". I could see how someone could make this mistake honestly, so I emailed the business and told them that these processors do not exist, and I was sure to mention that this is false advertising. Why does this matter? Because the X2 and X4 series processors by AMD are part of their midrange series, and the Athlon and Sempron processors are on the low end of things. Someone could buy one of these systems and expect midrange performance as you would get from an actual X4 processor, but instead get the low end performance that's found on Sempron and Athlon CPUs. I've received no email from them in response to this and they are still fraudulently advertising it. Also, by default, the website selects more expensive options of some things. For example, the website by default selects the more expensive PC case, rather than the one included in the price, and the user has to manually change it. They also include a "Platinum Delivery Plan" by default. These two things add $30 to the price. Plus there's not even much value here. You could get the same performance for slightly less by building your own PC, using the same parts.

Tip for consumers:
Don't even bother, just build your own.
