Ready to go out of the box!
Pros: Ready to use Amazing build quality Stellar cable management Incredible packaging
Cons: None
Overall Review: I was hesitant to buy this system as it was more expensive than some comparable models, however after looking at manufacturer's official website I became more confident in their abilities. I'm so glad I did too, as this system from CLX is remarkable. It was ready to go right out of the box and came with operating system and Nvidia Control Panel pre-installed. Speaking of the box, this thing came packaged so well that it could have dropped on my porch from a helicopter and would have likely survived intact. Just be sure to open up the case and remove the padding that they use to support the video card before you try to start it up. It also came with multiple printed pages verifying that a tech at their company checked and tested every component in the system, as well as photos of what that component was. The cable management is phenomenal, the LEDs are gorgeous, and the system itself is lightning fast. I'm playing Cyberpunk with Ultra Ray Tracing settings in 1080p and it's smooth as butter. It runs my Valve Index VR like a champ at 144hz. Quality all around. My only complaint, which is nothing CLX did wrong, is that the specifications on Newegg did not tell me what style/ manufacturer of motherboard or GPU was installed (just stated it was an RTX 3060ti). Anyone who has built a computer knows that the manufacturer makes a HUGE difference, so I was rolling the dice a little in this regard. Looking at CLX's website again gave me comfort as they seem to mainly use MSI products in their Intel/Nvidia builds. This particular one ended up coming with an MSI Z490A-Pro and MSI Ventus GPU, both of which I am happy with especially at this price point. For a pre-built mid level gaming system, you can't go wrong with this one. You won't be playing with Ultra Ray Tracing in 4k at 120hz or anything, but you'll easily part two times or more for that kind of capability. This system will obliterate 1080p and 1440 though, which is exactly what I was wanting. If you want total control over the components, go to the CLX website where you can pick literally everything. If you don't want that level of complexity and just want a gaming computer that works amazingly well out of the box with no hassle or tech knowledge required, buy this one. Five stars!
