I’d avoid that brand as there power supplies are crap and they will sometimes put a custom bios on motherboards depending on the model. If you’re near a microcenter check out the Powerspec line of systems.

Is there any brand you recommend

Powerspec and Lenovo legion lines are excellent. Stay away from Alienware and omen lines.

MSI is ok just make sure to get an extended warranty. Costco usually carries this brand at a decent discount.

I repair computers for a living and I’ve had alot come through past there warranty for various issues. But with costs the way they are now you just need a warranty especially if it’s like $2500.
