Origin PC has been releasing all kinds of custom gaming PCs for over a decade now. This includes the Origin PC Neuron line, which can be customized to match the specs one desires from a gaming PC. Origin PC sent Game Rant an especially powerful Origin PC Neuron machine that comes equipped with some of the latest and greatest PC gaming hardware, serving as one of the more impressive examples of a PC gamers can get from Origin.

This particular PC came with the GeForce RTX 3080, one of the the most powerful GPUs currently available. And with scalpers making it difficult for PC gamers to buy a GeForce RTX 3080 to upgrade their existing rigs, buying a pre-built PC like this is honestly one of the better ways to make the jump without having to succumb to scalpers. The suggested MSRP for this particular Origin PC Neuron is nearly $4,000, so it's still going to cost quite a bit more, but it also provides significant bang for your buck for anyone that's looking to upgrade more than just their graphics card. And after purchasing the Origin PC Neuron, there will be no need to upgrade anything for years to come.

There is customization to be had with the Origin PC Neuron line in terms of its hardware and the case it all comes in, but the one Game Rant reviewed came with the Corsair 4000D Airflow case. This behemoth is roomy enough so that everything has plenty of space within the tower itself, and that should make swapping out parts easier than it would be otherwise. But as previously mentioned, the technology in this PC is future-proofed to the point that it will likely be at least five years or so before anyone that owns this PC needs to consider upgrading.

To put it bluntly, the Origin PC Neuron, with these specific specs, is a monster. The GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card, AMD Ryzen 9 3.7GHz CPU, and the included 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum memory ensure that PC gamers can play virtually anything they can think of at max settings with zero performance hiccups. If someone wants to purchase a PC that can play anything on the market with no fuss, then this is the way to go.

Modern games are notorious for taking up a lot of hard drive space, so luckily the Origin PC Neuron build Game Rant reviewed came with plenty of storage. 2TB Seagate Barracuda hardrives were included in the review model, ensuring that gamers can deal with the massive Call of Duty file sizes and still have plenty of other games downloaded and ready to go. With video game file sizes continuing to balloon out of control, having adequate storage space is hugely important, and luckily this PC has enough storage that gamers shouldn't have to worry about that for some time either.

Traditional games take up plenty of space and the cutting-edge ones are definitely demanding, but the Origin PC Neuron should be able to hand them all with zero issues. This also extends to virtual reality games, which typically demand more memory and beefier PC setups. As expected, the Origin PC Neuron can handle all of the top of the line virtual reality games, and the Corsair 4000D Airflow case is set up for virtual reality out of the box so VR enthusiasts merely need to plug in and play.

Any VR fans going from a mid-range PC to the Origin PC Neuron will notice a massive difference in performance, especially when it comes to VR load times. VR games oftentimes have notoriously long load times, but those are mostly a thing of the past with the Origin PC Neuron. Players will be able to load graphically-demanding VR titles like Asgard's Wrath or Half-Life: Alyx in mere seconds, as opposed to the minutes that it might've taken before, resulting in a superior VR gaming experience.

A PC with this kind of power means that a quality cooling system is necessary. The Corsair 4000D Airflow case uses Max Corsair QL fans, which do a great job of keeping everything relatively cool. The fans aren't terribly loud either, which is definitely a plus, but there is certainly more noise coming from it than less powerful PCs.

There are some knickknacks that come with all Origin PCs that potential purchasers should take note of as well. This includes a free poster, a desktop sleeve, a mouse pad, and a 32GB recovery drive. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card also gets purchasers free access to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War as well as the Nvidia GeForce Now bundle. None of this is something that's going to sell someone on the PC - the specs and overall performance do that just fine on their own - but they're still perks that one might want to consider if they're in the market for a new PC.

Those who don't want to build their own PC from scratch but want a top of the line pre-built machine should definitely consider the Origin PC Neuron line. They can customize the specs to their liking, but anyone that wants guaranteed top-tier performance can copy the review unit's hardware specs. This PC will play virtually anything at max settings, from big budget, traditional games to the latest virtual reality titles. It's future-proofed and can stand toe to toe with some of the best gaming PCs out there. It's going to be expensive, but purchasing a PC like this from Origin will keep PC gamers from having to upgrade again for quite some time.
