"CPU solutions helped me select a new motherboard for my PC. They helped me resolve my video encoding time and stick to my planned budget. They had a number of options and completed my order quickly. Carson, Mo, and Todd are Excellent!"

"First of all, over the past ten years or so, I have fancied myself a hardcore PC gamer. However, my habit cut into my income, so all of my PC's have been hodgepodge, thrown together, barely running pieces of trash. But after landing my first better-than-minimum-wage job, I started getting newer and better parts, like a good video card, large hard drive, ect. Eventually I saved enough money to get myself a barebones system to plug all this stuff into. So I went to CPU solutions, and got them to put me a motherboard, power supply, and cpu with cooler in a shiny new case, and let myself fill in the missing pieces. It showed up in a mere 3 days, and after a few hours of putting everything together, I had myself a beast of a rig for rock bottom price. I even went to newegg and put all the individuial parts in a cart to get a comparasion, and lo and behold... it was about 50$ more expensive! How these guys can stay in business with such a low profit margin is beyond me, but they blew me away in every aspect of the service. This is a great company, and they will take great care of you. I would take a bullet for these guys! Dont hesitate, get your computer ordered from these guys!!"

"Paul Hallenbeck, Project Manager - CPU Solutions, sets the standard for OUTSTANDING Customer Service. Paul is patient, clearly and easily understood, an incredible source of technical knowledge and savvy; my recommendation is he receive the highest bonus possible and made CEO!

After listening to countless other discourteous CS reps who barely speak ingrish, Paul is a blessing to this excellent company.

I look forward to many more purchases from them."

"PRODUCT Pre-Configured Intel i7 3.4ghz Quad Core PC. 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 8, GTX660 w/2GB, 700W PS, Level 10 Snow Edition Case

I don't believe in spending 300% more to get all top of the line components which will give you maybe 20% better performance and then in a couple months those components be second rate because of rapidly improving technology.For me, this computer is the perfect mix of higher end components in a case that allows for easy almost infinite upgrades and customization. Considering
that I ordered in on Jan 1 when everybody was on vacation it was still shipped in a few days and well packaged.

For me, the smaller 1TB HDD is also a plus. I installed the basic software I needed then for less than $100 I cloned the system drive making the system close to bulletproof. I can restore it back to fully functional in less than 1 minute in the event of almost any system crash.

It came with a Windows 8 install CD and all the component driver CDS, a plus not listed in their product description.

Cold startup time is about 45 seconds (with Norton's full security suite installed)and this includes the log in page and me typing in my password.

Performance was better than I expected. I replaced an older (but half decent) system with a GTX 520 card. As shipped from CPUSolutions in Warcraft the differences were kind of amazing. With all high to ultra settings @1920X1080 almost all frame rates at least doubled. I think the best test was standing in Orgrimmar on one of the highest populated servers in the game with hundreds of people running around, chatting and linking equipment, FPS went from 10 to 15 on the old system to 65 to 80 FPS on the
new system as shipped with no modifications. By the way, that's while running 2 monitors off the same card too with 9 action bars and a ton of add-ons. Running around questing is usually around 90 to 100 FPS and 20 to 30 man battlegrounds about the same. These are the numbers I've seen on benchmark tests from much more expensive systems.

I can't tell you anything about support because I haven’t needed any but I guess that tells you something.

As configured this system does just about twice as good as I expected for about half the money I expected to pay.

p.s.
I didn't believe all these 5 star ratings myself but I'm a real person WOW US servers Area 51 and Anetheron, Boothill plus about 15 other toons."

"I love this company, by far one of, if not the best for ordering custom PCs. I bought a computer from them about 2 1/2 years ago and technology left it in the dust so I decided that since I was so pleased all those years ago I could order a new PC from them and boy could I not be happier! To start I ordered a full build PC Dec. 3 2012 with all the bells and whistles and it amazingly shipped 2 days later (Dec. 5 2012) from the time I ordered it!

The PC came very nicely packed so I set it up and the only problem I had with it was the one fan for the liquid cooling sounded like a hair dyer so I called and spoke to Todd for the better part of 30 minutes and we tried to I.D the problem. We couldn't fix it from BIOS or anything so he told me to email their tech support about the problem which I promptly did. So I emailed CPU Solutions tech support and got to speak with Paul who asked me to check some things and adjust some other things which didn't work so instead of telling me it's not their problem and to suck it up like most PC companies would do he actually shipped me a brand new fan which did the trick and now this beast of a computer runs extremely quiet. To sum up their customer service is probably the best I have ever had the pleasure of talking to. What's best is you aren't talking to "Robert" in India or some name you can't even pronounce from the Philippines etc. etc. but a customer service rep. from right here in America.

Their price is also very competitive. I could have bought everything from Newegg for actually 10 dollars MORE and have had to assemble the PC myself. CPU Solutions builds the PC and warranties it as well and it was still cheaper. The only thing Newegg had over them that was cheaper shipping but I think not having to build the PC myself and it coming with a warranty negates the added shipping cost.

Anyway, best computer company I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with and hope to be doing more business with them in the future."

"CPU Solutions is a terrific builder of custom computers. This is the second computer I've had built by them and couldn't be happier. Their customer service is excellent and the website is by far one of the best around for customizing. I give them two thumbs up!"

"The pricing was fair, the build time was reasonable and the tech support (Paul) was extremely helpful. But unfortunately the computer i ordered came to me not fully operational. The audio did not work on it at all. Within the first 12 hours of me in possession of the computer i was already packing it up to ship it back to CPUSolutions. I am happy with my build, but displeased with the fact that i had to send it back for them to work on it again. Now that i have to send it across country again and then back only provides more time that it can get damaged in transit. Hopefully in a week or two when i get my PC back the great spaghetti monster in the sky will bless me with a fully functional PC. "
