You pay a premium but I Love the PC the parts and build quality! Had to figure some stuff out on my own after setup but that should be expected with a prebuilt or any PC! First off the quality of the build is phenomenal. I dont just mean the parts. They are very good and all brand name parts as well. What I mean is build quality is great. You can tell they didnt just slap this thing together! the wiring on mine is professionally done and super neat unlike my sons NZXT prebuilt and and my previous Cyberpoweror my previous CyberPower. CLX builds these right! ? First the parts on mine: GPU = Zotac RTX 5080 Solid OC (Phenomenal) CPU = AMD Ryzen 9800X3D (Phenomenal) RAM = T-Force 5600 (Meh but more than sufficient) Motherboard = ASrock X870 Pro RS Wifi (Great Mobo just not expensive but has every feature you want including wifi 7and RGB if thats your thing) PSU - MSI MAG 850w ( Very Solid) Case = Phanteks XT view (Looks phenomenal in person) CLX hardware = RGB FANS (which are great) connected to Gamdius/CLX fan controller. As well as CLX Quench 360 AIO (I cant speak to its reliability but its quiet and does a really good job so far with CPU temps! The PC is beautiful and I got it before the price went up a few hundred $ but if you want a quality prebuilt done right this is it! You will pay a premium but certain brands are cheaper for a reason! I've had other brands and was not satisfied with the parts or quality at all ! I am completely satisfied with this prebuilt. The fans (except the AIO) out of the box are controlled solely by the fan controller and with the remote control. It keeps the system running very cool but I wanted it a little more quiet and not to have to adjust fans with a remote. This was accomplished by updating to the latest motherboard bios (which you will want to do anyway) and by implementing a fan profile which the update does automatically and then you can adjust the fan profile in the bios or with software from the motherboard manufacturer. You will still be able to use the fan controller as well at will if needed or when you want which I actually like. To further follow up and share important info the PC was shipped with the default bios for the motherboard. You will want to update the bios to get the full features of the 9800X3D CPU it comes with. Features have been added since launch and the default bios of this motherboard limits your brand new CPU which you dont want and there are some important other additions/features you want and need in the newer bios versions. I do wish they sent these out with a newer bios but updating it is something all gaming pc users should get used to. Other than that I love this PC and feel it was a great purchase full of quality parts and workmanship. A little pricier than the cheaper pump them out at all costs brands but well worth a few hundred dollars more in my opinion. This is the second CLX I have purchased and their customer/tech support has been phenomenal as well which is important as well. Hope this helps with your purchase decision. I feel great about mine!

First time ever trying CLX, and I must say they knocked the ball out of the park with this one! From the moment I fired it up, I could tell this was a whole new level of performance. The components are top-notch (as other reviewers have already listed—sorry for being too lazy to do it again), but the real magic is in how flawlessly they work together. Going from a 9700K/3070 Ti to a 9800X3D/5080 is like night and day. I always thought my old PC gaming experience was smooth, but wow—I was so wrong. Even when running at 60fps, this rig makes it feel like it’s pushing far beyond that. The fluidity and responsiveness are unreal, making every movement buttery smooth. To pair with it, I grabbed the ROG Strix XG27WCS 1440p Curved Gaming Monitor, and HOLY S%#T! I’ve been completely blown away for the last two days. I was always skeptical about going beyond 1080p, but this monitor has made me a believer. The colors are insanely vibrant, the details are razor-sharp, and the immersion from the curved display makes every game feel larger-than-life. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or pushing your rig with intensive tasks, this CLX build handles it all effortlessly. If you’ve been on the fence about upgrading or trying CLX, take the leap—you won’t regret it. This setup has genuinely redefined my gaming experience, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Took about 6 days longer to arrive to BB then what date I was given when I ordered it, but I don't blame BB for that. It is extremely quiet, loads fast, all games I've thrown at it run great with great FPS with the 5080. I bought some Corsair RAM to replace the ram that came with the system, specifically CORSAIR - VENGEANCE RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz C30 AMD EXPO & Intel XMP UDIMM Desktop Memory - Gray, and I bought a WD_BLACK 8TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,200 MB/s - WDS800T2X0E to add to the system, since it only came with a 2TB SSD. Geek Squad did all the work when it arrived, and it was ready for pick up later that afternoon. The system runs quiet, even when gaming at max settings, temps run fine, I really am happy with this purchase. Would definitely recommend this system and Geek Squad to anyone that is not 100% comfortable with opening up a brand new PC and adding and replacing parts, they did a great job!
