With today's economy I had to make a decision to still maintain the build quality that I wanted but at a reasonable price. Vigor was very competitive in this area and came in at the price range I wanted.
I am not a technician but do know a little about gaming pc's but very much appreciated the advice and suggestions that were made. The sales adviser was able to give a good explanation as to why it would be better to go with this build as opposed to what I may have originally started.
The build time was completed as promised without delays or issues. After the delivery and I had unpacked the computer I found no shipping damages or problems.
The computer is running without flaws or hiccups. I am still moving files, programs and data from my old machine and I have yet to have any concerns as of this date.
As far as gaming the Vigor computer is great. I have played Fallout 3, World of Warcraft, and The Witcher and the graphics and framerates are amazing.
I will end with saying, if you are researching for a gaming computer put Vigor at the top of your list. One other reason I chose Vigor was the results maintained on this website and the high customer evaluations. I also wanted to thank Chuck at Vigor for working with me. So far if things remain the same without issue, you all did a great job.

This is by far the best computer company I have ever dealt with. I have purchased from a dozen or so computer company last few years for my consulting business, and I have found Vigor to be one of the easiest to work with. Their website is very clean but full with options. Sales personnel is very attentive and knowledgeable. Both Pre and Post technical supports are superb. Price is fair consider the work and support that comes with it. I highly recommend Vigor and will use them for my consulting business from now on.

Vigor Gaming is one of the BEST experiences I've had placing an order with anyone, let alone for a computer online. They are attentive and deliver expedient and excellent customer service. My machine is in top form and runs like a race car.

I ordered a Hornet NE on August 4 and received a call from Daisy the next day to confirm the order. She was very polite, helpful, and knowledgeable. I put in 4GB of RAM in the system with Windows XP Pro 32bit as the OS. Daisy pointed out that the 32bit OS will only use 3GB of memory max, but the 64bit can use all 4GB. I asked if there was any way they could put in 3GB instead, but they can only do 2 or 4. She then advised me to keep the 4GB of RAM in case I decide to switch to Vista in the future and so I kept it.
I received an e-mail once the order was confirmed with a customer number to keep track of the computer's progress. It was shipped on the estimated shipping date via UPS and I even received it a day earlier than its estimated arrival date.
The computer runs quietly and is very fast. I love it! I will shop at Vigor Gaming again for my next system and I highly recommend this company to others looking for a good gaming PC for a great price!

So far, Vigor Gaming seems to be an excellent company to do business with! We purchased 2 gaming computers at the same time. They even contacted us to make sure we had not made a mistake in the "quantity" field of our order. They also called when they realized the operating system we chose would not work with the other programs and let us know what our options were. We received the machines and are extremely satisfied with their performance! My husband and son say the game they had been playing for 2 years looks like a completely different game!! We have called once with a question and love the fact that a real person answered the phone. We were transferred to tech support and were speaking with someone almost immediately...no terminal hold! Should we ever have a need to purchase another gaming computer or upgrade our current ones, we will definitely contact Vigor again. Their website is now saved in our favorites!

What a company. I looked around for about a month and finally decided on Vigor because of online reviews and a good review in PC Gamer. Configured what I wanted and couldn't believe I could get a Phenom 9850, MSI K9a2 plat. mb, 4gb of ram, an ATI 4870, Vista premium 64, and Coolermaster 850 watt ps all for $1500 when other vendors were easily 2 grand or more. I ordered the Delta Force AE early July with the Phenom 9850 and wouldn't you know it. A week later the 9950 came out. I called Vigor and asked if it was too late to upgrade to the 9950 and Daisy said no problem. I figured while I was on the phone that I might as well go ahead and upgrade the motherboard to the Asus m3a32 wifi. I don't know too many vendors, if any, that would let you change an order that late into production. Of course that delayed my initial ship date but I knew that going in. I live in the middle east on a military base and packages usually take 7 to 20 days to get here after they ship from the east coast. From the day they shipped it from the west coast it arrived in 6 days. Unbelievable. I was a little worried about how well they would package it since a lot of my mail arrives looking like it was hit by an ied, but it arrived with the box intact. Connected it and everything works perfectly. No loose connectors anywhere. I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Vigor Gaming and will buy from them again. Like everyone says they're customer service and end products are top notch. This review was modified by its author, joblop, on

After two weeks of research and much deliberation, I decided to take the plunge and order a computer from Vigor Gaming for my gaming enthusiast appetite. When I did have questions, Vigor customer service answered my emails in a prompt manner. The website was well organized although I think pictures and additional information could have been provided with hardware options. After I ordered my Atlantis Laptop online, I received an email providing me with all necessary information and stating that I would receive a call within 48 hours to confirm my purchase. Well, I was surprised when I heard from Daisy, a Vigor employee, the next day. She was cordial, stated up front the lead time (two weeks which is understandable to have a durable computer), and asked me if I had any questions regarding my purchase. I decided to upgrade to express shipping and it didn’t present a problem.
I observed Vigor’s true spirit when they encountered a credit card issue (I accidentally gave the wrong security number). Daisy called me back later in the day to notify me of the error and I gave her the right security number. Our credit card company exacerbated the problem when they wouldn’t let the process go through the next day—we don’t normally make purchases this big so it looked abnormal. Chase told us we had to straighten it out with Vigor Gaming. So we called them and asked to speak with Daisy and our request was granted. I was pleasantly surprised to find that she remembered us and we proceeded to correct the problem within a few minutes. Best of all, she said the error didn’t impede my computer’s production. I haven’t received my computer yet, it should be sent out next week, but my experience thus far with Vigor has left no lingering doubts in my mind that the company takes care of its customers.

Placed an order for a Stealth AE on 07/14 and received an email confirmation right away. The same day, I received a phone call confirming my order, as well as an email confirmation.
It was scheduled to ship on 07/25, but shipped two days earlier on 07/23. I received it on 07/28.
Upon opening it, the pc itself is wrapped in an abundant amount of bubblewrap. There is a box that contains a binder with the return policy and warranty, as well as all of the driver discs, manuals, adapters, screws, cables, etc.
I hooked up the pc to my monitor and turned it on. It's fully operational out of the box, no need to enter any username or set up anything. There's no free trials or extra software bundles installed.
I am more than satisfied with Vigorgaming service. The computer itself is neatly presented; all of the wiring inside have been neatly bundled together, nothing came loose during shipment, the latest drivers have been installed. I have yet to talk to a CS rep since I have not run into any problems.
I highly recommend Vigorgaming, I'm glad I shopped with them rather than any other company. I'll be sure to purchase from them again in the future

This review is premature. I have not received the computer yet. Will update when I get the computer and have had a chance to work with it.
Having said that, I will say that at this point my experience with Vigor Gaming has been excellent. I chose Vigor Gaming after reading reviews on this site and others and their AA Better Business Bureau rating. Gamers are demanding and the ratings tell a great deal.
Before I ordered, I sent an email to Vigor Gaming and asked a number of questions. I really did not expect a response. Within two hours I had one. It was complete and well answered my questions. After months of research (looked at all of their competitors in detail) I chose Vigor Gaming, crossed my fingers and placed the order.
While placing my order, I told an inadvertent lie. I said that I would not bug them. The next day I called with questions and a desired change. All questions were answered. I found out that the change was not feasible, so canceled it. I then called two days later with another change. Although this change would have increased my invoice, the tech rep that I spoke with spent extra time and discussed the ramifications. It would conceivable caused problems with some of the older software I use, so I canceled it as well. On the 27th I checked out the site and lo and behold the vidio cards that came with the computer I ordered were changed from 9800gtx to 9800gtx+. A quick run of the configurator showed the same price. So, the next day I was back on the phone. I expected some resistance. They individual that I spoke with took my order number and reviewed my build. He then said simply, no problem. He made me aware that the new cards would not be received by Vigor Gaming until the end of the week (clearly posted on the site) and that was fine with me. A little delay to get two upgraded graphics card is a great trade off.
So I have broken my word and been somewhat of a pest. Every time that I have called, I have had a quick response and curtious and quality service. Each time that I talk to someone at Vigor Gaming they stress that the customer is very important and quality is their goal. I have had two converstions end with me being told that I will be very happy with my computer. With that philosophy and commitment how can you go wrong.
As a final thought, the prices are very competitive although not the lowest that I've seen, but the customer service and quality control are well worth the differece. To me a working computer with no problems is part of the package that I ordered.
To be continued!!!

Continued.
I received the computer last Wednesday, checked the wiring and cards and everything looked o.k. I fired up the baby and she came to life without a hiccup. Since I use the computer for work as well as recreation, it has been running for 12 hours a day for a week now, with no problems.
Since, I can be wordy (lol), I will finish up by saying that Vigor Gaming kept their word and I am very happy with my computer. I recommend considering this company strongly if you are looking for a good high end computer.
PS - I have confidence that this computer will function for a long time. New parts, extensive quality control, and a three year warantee parts and labor make me feel very secure.

I love this notebook I received, looks beautiful and runs very smoothly.
However I am not too sure how it passed the quality check because within an hour of running I encountered the blue screen numerous times. I wasn't too happy with that.

I did a LOT of research prior to placing my order with Vigor. In the end, they provided the configuration I wanted for several hundred less than the next-best choice, another firm who is very highly rated on this site. I had eliminated companies like Cyberpower owing to their terrible reputations here. Vigor also sports a AA rating from the BBB, which is quite significant.
My experience is much like others described here. I emailed to ask about the build I wanted, in terms of turnaround time, and received a prompt reply. After placing my order, Daisy phoned to confirm, and within hours I had my customer number and invoice number. The next day, their website had status info on my rig, and it was put together and in QC in less than a week. It shipped on the day estimated and arrived on the day they said it would.
The only problem was that apparently after QC was done, the builders reset the BIOS to its default settings. I had ordered a RAID 0 array of two HD's, and because of this the machine would not post, saying "Missing operating system". It took me about half an hour to figure out what the problem was, and once I restored the HD's as being RAID instead of IDE, it booted up immediately. The only other nit I would pick is that the documentation is very scant; they clearly expect their buyers to be experienced nerds like me. Novices might be daunted.
I ordered my rig with Vista 64 bit, and they had already set up my user account with my name-- a nice touch. The install is blissfully free of bloatware. It runs blazingly fast-- 3DMark of nearly 16,000 without taking any steps to optimize. I put the HD from my old machine into a free drive bay, and it was immediately recognized by the BIOS and Vista-- literally plug and play.
I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and have already recommended Vigor to a couple of colleagues who are in the market for a new desktop machine. I have nothing but the highest regard for the entire experience.

Another satisfied customer here. I'm not going to go into my detail about how excellent Vigor Gaming is. I ordered my PC and received it at my door about 3 weeks later. It took them two weeks to build and test and 1 week to have it shipped UPS ground. The computer came exactly as described and fired up with no issue. After going into the registry and doing some tweaks to speed up Windows, I noticed that the Vigor technicians had already made some great tweaks to my computer to make it faster. I downloaded the latest video drivers and when I went to install I realized that Vigor had already installed the latest drivers for me. Awesome stuff! So if you're looking to get an awesome gaming rig and you came across Vigor, don't look elsewhere. Their prices are VERY competitive and their customer service is awesome. I havn't had to use tech support yet, but I have no doubts that they are great. You might have to wait longer for your PC than you would with other companies, but who cares. It's easy to see where that extra time went. It went into building, testing, and tweaking a kick ass computer. Thanks VIGOR!

I must say that VigorGaming is a good company. I am a newcomer in America and still not good at speaking English (I am sorry if I make any grammar error in the following text). However, I need a computer. After reviewing several websites, I decided to purchase a computer from Vigor. Within 24 hours, a Vigor representative contacted me, using my native language!!!!! Her name is Daisy and she was friendly. Thank you Daisy, it's amazing.
If the best is A+, I will give Vigor a A.
1. The rig itself was well-assembled, with erything in its appropriate position. The inside of tower was neat and ordered. Perfect!
2. The PC had been tested and the operating systen had been installed. There was no any problem after powering on.
3. The assembling time is reasonalbe, though I think it can be faster. However, Vigor said 10 working days after the order was set and they did send out my computer in 10 days. On time, good!
4. The package was good, with adequate cushion to prevent damage in transit.
The reason why they don't get a A+ is that they didn't check my order thoroughly, though it maybe my fault in the begining. I also ordered a monitor with my PC. However, I did not pay attention to the detail information of every piece. After I received the PC, I found that the monitor had only a D-sub slot and the tower (the graphic card) had only DVI slots. So I cannot connect the monitor to the computer (I must admit that I was a little angry at that time becuase I can do nothing without a monitor). It took me about 30 mins to go to the BestBuy to buy the cable in the next day. I think it could be prevented if my order could be thoroughly checked after assembling.
However, the service of Vigor is excellent after all. I recommend this company to whom just arrived. You can contact them wihtout hesitance even you are not good at speaking English.
