I ordered a Force Recon T7N with a Core i7 920, MSI x58 Platinum SLI, 3GB Kingston HyperX (1600 Mhz), Cooler Master 850W PSU, 1TB 7200 hard drive, MSI GTX 260. I originally contemplated about building my own system but with grad school and work, my motivation of becoming a self-taught integrator was not up to par. So after much research, I decided to go with Vigor Gaming. I researched 15 computer integrators and configured about 50 systems before deciding to go with Vigor. Their price, reputation and prompt email responses put them ahead of everyone else. The computer functioned beautifully without any hitches right out of the box. I’ve been able to overclock my rig to 4.2 GHz from 2.67 GHz (turbo on, HT off, stable on Prime95 and OCCT). There are only two minor infractions regarding my build: incorrect description of RAM on the configuration menu (which was promptly corrected after I notified Vigor) and the wiring could have been better to improve airflow from the three intake fans on the Antec 1200. Despite these minor shortcomings, I’m quite smitten about my Vigor desktop and would seriously consider making my next computer purchase from them.
