Default PC Opinion - Feedback/Education needed.

Although I feel I've researched it I'm still a newb when it comes to PCs, their components and what is considered good/not good. I've looked at reviews of different PC makers along with various hardware sites and below is the system I'm thinking of getting. As the masses on this website are more experienced than I am I was hoping you could give me an opinion or recommendations.

At this point I don't want to build my own and would rather have someone who knows what they are doing do it.

One of the companies I looked at was CyperPower. Does anyone know anything about them? They have cheap prices but the customer feedback sections all say I should be pretty wary of them as 'you get what you pay for'.

The system below is from MainGear. They seem to 'rate' a little better than CyberPower.

So..does this system look okay? Would I be better upgrading or downgrading any parts of it? Do you see any bottlenecks?

Any help, direction or recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated.

I should note that I don't plan on buying anything until after COD is out and I see how it runs on everyone else's system.
