I know it’s hard to believe, but not every PC gamer has the know-how or desire to build their own rig. While many DIYers scoff at off-the-shelf units with outdated or proprietary components, plenty of companies are building custom high-end rigs. Origin PC, founded in 2009, is one such company. We’ve all seen top streamers sporting custom Origin builds, but not everyone is lucky enough to snag an Origin PC partnership. Origin PCs aren’t cheap, but after spending the last few weeks with a decked-out Origin PC Neuron, it may be worth the cost to skip the hassle of going the DIY route.
The Neuron line is Origin’s premium mid and full-tower desktop gaming solution. There are three pre-configured options that target 1080p, 1440p, and 4k gaming that range from $1919 to $4790. These are just starting points, though. Using Origin’s configuration tool, you can customize your build by choosing the individual components from a curated list of upgrades.
The system shipped to us features Intel’s most powerful gaming CPU, the Core i9 13900KS, paired with Nvidia’s flagship GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. Team Red fans need not fret; there are AMD CPU and GPU options to choose from as well. Our loaner is also kitted out with other premium upgrades, including an Asus ROG Z790 motherboard, Samsung NVMe and SSD drives, and a 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 RAM kit.
Our rig also features several other Corsair components. The power supply is upgraded from a 750-watt unit to Corsair’s RM1200x Shift 90 Plus Gold-certified powerhouse to supply enough power for the high-end CPU and GPU combo. And to keep things cool, our Origin branded 5000D Airflow case is fitted with Corsair’s H150i LCD Elite Capellix XT CPU Cooler and a full complement of Corsair QL iCUE RGB fans and controllers.
Origin’s configuration tool also offers some additional add-ins. You can add a personal touch to the PC’s case by adding a custom image or logo to a UV Glass printed or laser-etched side panel (our case came with a cool-looking orange graphic). And, if you don’t already have them, you can choose from a handful of Corsair keyboards, headsets, and monitors to round out your build.
Knowing that the Origin loaner was scheduled for delivery, I was surprised when I opened my door to an empty-handed UPS driver. Leaving me to ponder why he was glaring at me, he went back to his truck and returned with an 80lb crate that he had been lugging around in his truck for the last three days (he was the one who missed the estimated delivery window, not me). I’m not sure it’s worth the extra $116 to ship your new PC in Origin’s Wooden Crate Armor, but there’s no doubt it provides more protection than a cardboard box. If nothing else, the extra weight ensures that it

Garena Free Fire players have had a reason to rejoice lately as the game is expected to make a comeback in India in the form of Free Fire India. For the unaware, Garena Free Fire, along with 54 other China-linked apps, was banned by the Government of India on the morning of February 14, 2022. However, the ban was recently lifted, and the game is expected to arrive soon. Despite the unavailability of Garena Free Fire, its enhanced version, Garena Free Fire MAX, is free to play in India. It includes more advanced effects, animations, and graphics to enhance the overall user experience without compromising gameplay. However, it needs vastly superior resources on the gadgets being used to play the game. It is a more spec-heavy version of Garena Free Fire, but identical in terms of gameplay, and has become more popular, especially since the ban of Garena Free Fire in India.
