I have been a local system builder in Chicagoland for the past 15 years. Starting building computers over 20 years ago. My goals in designing a build and choosing parts is to create the best performing machine using the highest performing parts purchased for good prices. I shop parts I believe in so that when I a building I don't have to inflate the cost of the PC due to a very volatile PC parts market currently. If you have been looking for a custom PC that you can grow with and don't really want to settle for mediocre components in a prebuild, look no further. Prebuilts tend to have suspect low cost power supplies, mediocre or finicky motherboards lacking in features, the cheapest boot drives, and an expensive GPU you did not get to choose. These days the main value in that prebuilt is the DDR RAM and the GPU,. You might end up with an ASUs\S Prime, Windforce or cheap GPU that has little value on resale when there are better versions of that GPU on the used market for the same money. When I buy GPUs, I buy performance for the money. My GPUs speak for themselves. All of the GPUs listed in my posts have reached the pinnacle of 3D Mark benchmarking. Most 95% of all 3D benchmarks have hit #1 in the World for all 3D benchmarks. I a very proud of this feat considering these GPUs hit #1 in the World on air coolers. This should tell you right away you are buying a cherry picked card. Yes they are older Gen but for 1080P and 1440P still very very serviceable now and in the future for gaming and especially for workstation applications. You will see that not all the PCs I have built are gaming focused. Not all have RGB and I am starting to just build some blackout builds because people seem to like the minimal lighting effects while they are working.
If you want to swap a GPU in any of these systems with another, we can work that out. If you already have a GPU or want to source your own GPU, no problem, we can just drop the price of the GPU from the cost of the PC.
I know it is customary these days for everyone to want a deal. I know, I know. Unfortunately, let's just not wastes each others time. These prices are set so I don't lose any money. Yes, your getting my cost on these PCs. I need to start moving these brand new and new Old stock parts. If there is a slightly used part in a build, it was on my test bench and tested in the build to post the benchmarks. All PCs have had at least 10-15 hours of time dedicated to the build of the PC, the installation of pertinent test software to tune the PC and meet the benchmarks you see on each build. So you are also getting my time for free here. All PC are mostly bran new recently purchased parts in the past two months prior to the huge price increases. Yes you are buying at pre price hike prices. I have priced these aggressively and I hope you feel so too. All CPUs, Motherboards, PC Cases are redently purchased brand new in every build. Again, most other parts are recent purchases also or new Old stock. all used parts will be listed as used.
As you can see in the pictures, I am proud that I have received 1st place Legendary status on all the major 3D Mark Benchmarks. I also did not just beat the competition. I was way ahead of them. In fact, I am selling 5 newly built PCs right now all with Legendary 1st place status in all major 3D mark Benchmarks. And this occurred on 5 different GPUs and three different CPU types. My Steam name is illumon8. you can see me all over the leaderboards on RTX3070s and RTX3080s. These results were done well after the major overclockers have finished their best results. If you have any questions on the other builds or would like to see more pictures, let me know.
