There’s a bit of blind faith, but Build Redux is ensuring compatibility. This latter point is a bit concerning, as the consumer should know what’s in there. The company doesn’t post the brands for each component, as they often change based on supply. When asked what people can expect from the specific hardware, a Build Redux representative tells me that my configuration is a bit old and has now been updated slightly with different tech, but assures me it is in the same ballpark as what people can get today.

Build Redux delivers a pug-and-play experience right out of the box that is just as easy to set up as a console. The only sound I hear at this point is the clanking of my keyboard the machine is ghostly quiet when doing basic web surfing and app interactions. Seconds later, I see the machine’s desktop, and moments later, I’m downloading Steam, followed by several games I want to use to check out the hardware’s capabilities. It’s a beautiful sight, and I can freely change what colors I see and how intense they are using a small remote in the box.
Turning the unit slightly to my right, a glow emits from another light behind a glass panel, giving me a good view of the hardware on display. Rainbow hues spin and rotate brightly from three circular LED lights on the machine’s face.

At the top of the box sits a long black container reading “Welcome to PC gaming.” Inside, I first see a quick-start guide that consists of just a handful of steps, such as removing padding inside the tower, ensuring the cables look good, and learning where to plug in the peripherals.Īfter just a minute or two, I boot the machine to a symphony of color. The cardboard shipping container is sizable, consisting of thick padding for the formidable foot-and-a-half tall tower. Additionally, I learn all machines come with a two-year parts and labor warranty to replace or repair any malfunctioning hardware, just as long as it wasn’t physically damaged.īuild Redux sent me a default “best” model for review. Once my build is complete, I see a $99 build fee. You can tweak most options, from the memory and cooler to storage and power supply.

That’s a nice card, but I could upgrade it to something better like the 3090 Ti 24 GB, but it would raise my cost by $888. In my “best” option, I see I’m getting an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB graphics card. After selecting the option you want to explore, a screen shows all the components in your tower. The difference in price at this point is good at $1,415, better at $1,879, and best at $2,259. The “better” model raised the framerate to 110, and “best” jacked it to 145.
Clicking Apex Legends reveals a reading of 70 frames per second for Build Redux’s “good” PC model. When you click a game, a framerate appears over the box art. The options include many reflex-based shooters like Call of Duty Warzone, Overwatch, and Apex Legends. You pick your top three games from a preset list of fifteen titles. Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.When you go to Build Redux’s website, you see the option to build your PC, but not in the way you would expect. No Markup on the PC parts and they’ll build + optimize the PC for just $75. System builders can sometimes have multiple various levels of fee’s but Redux wants to do it differently.
