I'm leaning towards Origin PC for my first Gaming Desktop; Any suggestions?

[SynisterJeff]

I am really liking the look of this company and this build I set up on their website. I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about the company and whether or not this desktop and the quality of the system would be worth the price that they are estimating. I'm thinking this set-up would run just about anything I would want to play, and I don't need the quality of my games running at full. Any comments on the set up would be appreciated though.

That is a moderate to poor gaming build , and very expensive in all the wrong places

The case is expensive and not that great
the extra fans unneeded
the liquid cooler not needed on a cool running 82 watt cpu .
The GTX 650ti is mid range and more at place in a budget gamer than an $1800 pc
a gamer doesnt need even 2 x4 gig of RAM so thats overkill too
and you should be running win 8 . Better license and better features and you can add a start button is you wish at zero cost

You can build something that games twice as well for 2/3 of that cost if you can use a screw driver

That's sooo expensive, you can get the best pc ever with that money, like u can max out bf3 if u use the money right, hit up CyberPower

 

[Fiveoh4]

that's like a $1400 setup if you do it yourself. You could get better for less on newegg.

The following build will destroy the one you've selected in every possible application and is $350 cheaper after rebates. You can lower the cost even further by dropping the cooler to a simply Hyper 212 Evo. Build it yourself, you'll get double the performance for a lot less money. Youtube can show you how to do anything these days. Dozens of great "How To" guides on overclocking and building your own PC that will allow even the least tech savvy person to do so with ease.

If you've got extra cash to blow and want the best, you can upgrade the GTX 770 to a 780 for the best single GPU available. The 770 is fully capable of maxing every game in 1080p however, so unless you're really going all out you won't even need the 780.

You can max out BF3 on a simple $800-1,000 build. Cyber Power is also a complete ripoff with awful customer service.

 

[Rhavi Marques]

yeah, wow, 1800 for a 650ti and an i5? you can get.... three of those for 1800 if you tried hard enough.

Hey thanks for the input, after this I think I just might put one together myself. I wasn't worried about actually putting one together, just all the troubleshooting I will probably have to do afterwards. I'll keep all this info in mind though

 

[SynisterJeff]

Ya that's about the same figure I got from it, I was thinking if the extra $400 would be worth have everything put together with all the trouble shooting done and the professional overclocking and other tweaks

Wow, thanks for the info and putting together this build to show me, I'm pretty interested in it. Now, will this site notify me if two parts are not compatible if I change some of the specs?

 

[Rhavi Marques]

yeah, partpicker tells you if parts arnt compatible.

* Here at origin pc's we try our best to build a completely unbalanced, overpriced pc for the average consumer. We'd like you to know that we charge far too much money for pc parts that could be had for much less. Therefore, we are the best option for gaming pc's currently available.

Honestly, build your own pc. It's not hard, and is far more satisfying and rewarding. Also, you can have an i7 and a 780 in that build, or an i5 and 780 sli, which will crush this origin pc and anything else within a 20 km radius.
