Bigger isn’t always better in the realm of gaming PCs, and the Origin Chronos V3 proves you can squeeze premium parts into a console-sized shell. Sure, the build costs way more than the average rig, and its dedication to keeping things compact comes with caveats. However, if you’re in the market for a dinky powerhouse with Nvidia RTX 4080 DLSS 3 abilities and somehow have over $3,000 lying around, this could be the system for you.
The Origin Chronos V3 comes in at $3,463, so we’re talking serious money for the sleek system we’re reviewing. It’s perhaps easier to see why when you consider its specs, as the Corsair-owned company has effectively popped many of the best gaming PC parts into its mini-ITX case. That component list includes an Intel Core i9-13700K and the aforementioned RTX 4080 graphics card, and it’s also rocking 32GB DDR5 RAM for good measure.
