There's no question that Origin can make a gaming PC. And even if this relatively simple all-Corsair build isn't as head-turning as some of the Origin systems I saw out at CES this year, this is still a beautifully built machine. It's also a system that comes with a price premium, as all Origin PCs do, but this one makes it a bit of a tough machine to recommend.
I guess, for me and from afar, Origin PCs have always had this almost boutique system integrator feel. And yet here I am, with a pretty powerful Origin machine next to me, and another system from Corsair itself in its Vengeance line, and you would be hard pushed to find the difference. If it weren't for the logos and/or marketing lines embossed on the same Corsair 3500X chassis you'd have no hope.
