Now Is the Time to Choose a Pre-Built System

February 14, 2018 | By Anthony

PC gamers have probably been told on more than one occasion about how it’s wiser to build your own gaming desktop from scratch instead of purchasing one pre-built. One of the reasons behind it is the cheaper cost of purchasing components. While that argument may have been valid at one point, cryptocurrencies aren’t doing any favors for PC gamers wanting to tinker with creating their own PC.

According to a recent article published in The Verge, prices for popular GPUs like the powerful Nvidia® GeForce GTX 1070 typically hover around the $300+ range, but because they’re being purchased in bulk, shortages are being created. Hence, these graphics cards are commanding much steeper asking prices of more than $700, which means gamers are forced to make sacrifices in certain areas in order to stay within their budget. This could mean potentially choosing a less powerful GPU or less RAM in order to keep the price reasonable.

With that in mind, now is as good a time as any to consider one of the pre-built ORIGIN PC systems. Our critically-acclaimed PCs still allow you to pick and choose your components while also giving you that extra degree of personality and style by also allowing you to choose your favorite colors. We have the latest generation GPUs including the Nvidia 10 series as well as AMD’s Ryzen processors to create a desktop or extreme gaming laptop capable of handling today’s popular titles like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG).
