Hey HardwareJunkie, we genuinely appreciate the honest review and feedback. While we believe our build, part, and support quality justify the pricing of our PCs we understand that there are certainly cheaper alternatives for those who are shopping strictly on a price basis. We love to boast that Support emails are typically replied to within 48 minutes, and your average time on hold is 76 seconds, which we believe is far below the average. If you are seeking a PC company that truly takes pride in the parts we use, the wire management and PC quality, as well as our support offering we hope we will be considered. At the end of the day we aren’t seeking to compete on price, but rather in quality, support, and overall experience! PS - On a recent survey provided to perspective customers 92% of over 1000 respondents felt that our overall service justifies the price we charge. Maybe one day you will give us the opportunity to show that service off! Thanks again!
they are a scam i can build a gtx 1660s r5 36000 which in their website costs 1512 in 1000 with a nvme ssd and in their website we only get to choose from sata ssd
Thank you for posting. My son really wanted this but I was very suspicious about the the cost. I suspected that he was blown away a youtuber. You were very helpful for a tech-naive mom.
@SlyStarling they aren't bad for the price tbh after discount codes I have one and I've never had any problems at all run every game very smoothly and I paid less than 2k
Best Buy is usually the first place most people go but its hard to even find them in stock these days and then you have to pay a bunch extra for customer service and insurance
Everytime I see a Skytech pre-built it gets me excited :) the only company that seems to stand out and makes me want to buy for my first. One in store pretty close to me
I’m really worried now because i ordered a pc from apex without researching. I just saw a good sale that took it from 3.5k to 2.7k and thought it was a good company
Bought one of these two years ago it was 1.4k for the one I got and my ram came out of the slot when I unboxed it also there protection plan is horrible you can’t overclock or even mess with the inside like adding ram or the warranty is void and it didn’t come with a parts list and they removed it from the website so I can’t even see what is in it
jou can anyone recommend better websites which ship even to scandinavian countries? i want a pc but everyone is basically recommending only pc availible in the us like this youtuber
I ordered a laptop from them in may, its currently novemeber 23rd and i still havent received my computer. Every email ive sent has be responded by an apology and me being told theres no info that i can be told, the most ive gotten was being told theres a processing issue
I am in the exact same position! Please let me know if they do anything to help you. Likewise I'll update this comment if I get any new information on why they're so shit at customer service and shipments lol.
What if I’m trying to play space engineers with the graphics set to high while playing on a server with a bunch of mods? I also will be playing tear down. Is apex good or should I get something else. I don’t want to waste my money but I want to put money into upgrading a prebuild.
I know im kinda late to this but im considering buying an apex gaming pc, and i was wondering if a custom apex gold would be a good pc based on a price of like 1600. Also im planning on playing mainly minecraft and fortnite so do with that what you will. Just wondering if a custom pc is better than pre-built.
Thanks for the advice! I was looking at their prices and thought they were a bit too expensive, despite me not having a LOT of knowledge on the specs of gaming PCs so your advice is very valuable. I was wondering, do you know any other website where they offer good PCs that ship globally??
Apex does offer stock prices for most of its parts. The Apex Carbon for example, fully maxed with an i9, 3090, 64gigs of ram, top of the line gigabyte board, 2tb ssd, 1000watt psu, custom water cooling and enough RGB to blind a small child is only $5000 (including taxes). Its about $6k if you dont snatch up a 10% discount that they regularly offer. They also have a 15% for veterans. All in all Id say they are pretty transparent and they offer a lot of custom parts if you give em a call and ask for upgrades they dont list on the site.
I ordered mine in may and still has not be shipped idk if they just robbed me or what.. its now Sept 28 lmao, ive been receiving emails about how the last component they need to add to my pc is the gpu and they said that they had it back in stock so idk..
Hi Danny, our records show that your PC did not arrive with a faulty power supply but rather there was an issue related to your CPU, which we were able to resolve with you over the phone or via email. Could you please let us know if you are still running into issues? We are more than happy to help!
I have no real firsthand knowledge when it comes to gaming PCs. I'm not looking to get one specifically soon. But if I do eventually get one I'd want something that can run whatever I throw at it in 4K60. At least as far as prebuilds go, any recommendations? I'm not really interested in building one myself.

I want to get my first gaming pc and I'm want something under 1800 dollars and I going to run game like Microsoft flight sim on high graphics what should I buy?
When I buy my gaming PC next year, I wanna splurge. I've waited to long with potatoes, and invested so that I could one day reap the rewards. So to see how much "splurge" costs, I went on Apex, took a look at Platinum, then customized all the features to the most expensive options. It ended up totaling $8600. I know for a fact that has to be ridiculously overpriced. What's an approximate cost for "splurging"?
they are pretty okay i would recommend only getting the 50% off ones and you also should be over 21 (they set it as adult sign required) but other then that it is not worth it just because of that I had to go get on of my family member to sign for it just because I was 18 when I bought it (nothing said that on their website)
how can I ask u question ? I paid for apex gaming PC for my grandson $1600 now he saying it can't connect to wireless wifi?? that it needs ether net (sp) ? cable inorder to work? as a regular PC ? ya see him and his granddad connected his gaming PC to this cable that came from router in the living room do I had this cable coiled up in the hallway out his bedroom under a rug then he lost privileges to his PC so I decided to move it to the office across the house ..so now grandson telling me has to have cable in order to work as regular PC I thought I could use it im mean
I wasn't finished but I thought I could use it I mean I spent 1600!! and it needs a cable ?? no wireless wifi? is he lying or is this true that I have to move router or run cable in attic to office? also I took pictures of the PC and it doesn't say apex
I need advice so I want to get the jmw films pc off the websites but I don’t know if I should can any one give me any advice I know nothing about this stuff
Do not get any of these pcs unless you want to wait half a year to get yours and their are over priced their 1600 pcs are worth 600-800 dollars buy something from best buy or nzxt or lenovo or if u want to build ur own pc search for some youtube videos online don't be their next prey
im gonna buy a youtubers pc its about 1377 dollars so its 1200 euros for me but idk what monitor to buy my max monitor budged would be about 420 dollars or about 350-400 euros
hey so i just found your channel and im definitely subscribing, could you recommend a website that gives good PCs for respectable prices that ship to the uk (ive been looking myself but i dont know what website are legit and what prices are good)
AWD.it is the one I recommend to most of my UK viewers. Doesn't have amazing prices, but they are probably going to be one of your only options. If you are going for a relatively cheaper build their mirage system looks pretty decent, but just make sure to upgrade your RAM to 16GB and upgrade the SSD to a higher capacity since 240GB most likely isn't going to be enough.
I put in an order for one last night but decided to cancel . Hopefully they don’t screw me over cause they don’t have a cancel order button or anything , I had just sent them an email to cancel it before the 24 hours . Smh they’re closed until the 3rd
If somebody is deciding to go with Apex Gaming PCs consider this.... I have been waiting over a month for mine. They have great communications they have an amazing customer service but...I didn't read their policy before realizing how long it'll take for my pc to even ship. When I realized it and tried to email them about a refund on my $2k+ PC they asked me if they should proceed but told me about their policy (Which is clear in their page so no hate from me) which is 25% off of your payment for their trouble which means I had to pay them over $500 to get $1600 out of the 2 grand that I paid them. So here I am....waiting...and my pc still hasn't started to be built according to their status page GREAT 10/10 would NOT reccomend😬
I’m glad someone is out here educating people to avoid that site and go somewhere else. As an aspiring content creator gathering the hardware I thought about using them but then realized I’d be downgrading for the cheapest pc compared to my $600 laptop I currently have. In the future if I were to make it to where I’m getting sonsorships. I’d never become an affiliate with them just solely based on the price tags and base stats.
sadly this video did no justice to the video the context or the description. You can read all the specs you want all day long, you can post your financial opinions all day long, it isn't until you show their performance aspects does anything make any kind of sense to future buyers , streamers or gamers. It is with that thought that I will be posting actual videos that show off or display their capabilities that will help buyers into is this a good pc company or not. From my perspective they are absolutely amazing, along with every other computer company. NOW the difference between Apex and many other companies is, you get a computer that works more than a week without needing to send it in because it overheated and messed up some of the hardware. They don't just let you get an upgrade thats going to fry the internals, they make sure that the system is going to work and keep working. I have heard so many complaints about digitalstorm computers failing because people want a 3080 ti and 32gb ram and all this but they do not upgrade the power supply, they do not upgrade the motherboard and so there is a conflict with the cpu the gpu and fact that the system itself cannot handle the power draw, but for here, I didn't read or hear a single bad thing or anything that would discredit the company into saying oh they are overpriced, if nothing else makes me glad for my decision.
That is such bs if you browse that website rn they are giving them discount cuz they know they selling over priced trash for example the Apex gold is 1,449.95 WITH A i3 so they discount it to 1,079.00 you can not sit here and tell me that is worth it like wtf what do u need to compare when you can read some specs there are WAY!! better options than this you could consider only some idiot would waste their money on this overpriced trash(for 1,079.00 you CAN STILL BUILD A WAY BETTER SYSTEM LIKE BRUHHH really)and if you did buy one of their systems good job you wasted money
I've never seen a PC fail for it not getting, and needing expert care, and precision of labour, sure people can mess up, but you compare pre-builds, with other intern assembled pre-builds, these people have never done it, get replaced bi-weekly, or they are just underpaid, worked to the bone and borderline abused people, and most PCs work, despite them spraying paste all over(not an issue now with non-conductive), being rough, breaking capacitors, cracking solders and bending pins, pushing on fans, forgetting spacers, and it goes on. Super overpriced, assembled by a student, or a part-timer, possibly filling in his aprrenticeship hourly quota, with even 15% up for parts compared to a retailer, that is already pays WAY under, than you do. it takes a lunch break to slap it together, and it just won't fail, if it runs, it won't. There are some lemons, but those are not really a case for your concerns. You could do worse, though, and they seem to do it right.
Even there $2,000 computer doesnt come with a RTX 3060 yet. The competition offers that card under 2k. These are definitly scams for the price. They give u GTX 1660 supers LMAO. I feel bad for who buys this for sure, you got suckered into buying low end for cost of high end.
@@fresharkYT The graphic card shortage is over and you can now. But Back during the shortage I got my corsair 5600x with 3070 for 2.1k. So yea you can get a 3070 for 2k.
@@pooferfish2850 I just went on their site from Heavy Burns, an RPG/ mod youtuber (and told him what I think of it), to see how they're really, and the prices are IN-SANE. Good 25 % + extra, or much more, for what you'd expect performance wise, and to get a functioning, tried, ready to go PC, set-up customarily. Nevermind second hand (graphics is enough, the rest can be new, yeah) and the ability to get a 1000 dollar PC, and fish for cheap Windows, for the value of a 2400 dollar build of theirs. There is quite some 100s of dollars "lost" somewhere in their service. If their cases were artisan, with ability to customize your piece thoroughly, the price range would be justified for such an item. They sell 1400 dollars worth of prebuild, for 2400+ with Windows. That's a 1000, where you could make do with 400 above MSRP for components, to set it up, and make money, if you have good deals. Where is the value for 1400 dollars worth of new components at MSRP, for 2400. 80 dollars worth of stress testing, cable managment is "assembly and let it install-150 dollars", and setting up anything you want you could say 40 dollars, that's like 250 all work paid for dollars, say, for a mark up of 400, to close to even 800 dollars extra above "breaking even" , above MSRP price with WORK done, based on what their deal for Win, and parts are. 250 dollars, the rest is extra, 2400 dollar PC, with Win 11, for the value of 1400 dollar components, minus Win 11- 1600 dollars, you could sell and ship for 1800- to 2000. Big, big mark-up. If you can't do it fast, and well, and not skin the customer, then why do it. Why advertise, MY SERVICE, to build some poor sucker a snail PC, when he could have saved on twice the performance for the price, and several hours of his time, surely i'd want to save people from buying my services, if therte is nothing left for the parts. You could do worse, but never would recommend. Cable fiddling, and stress testing, above what anyone can do in some hours, spending 1-2 hours doing the work, for surely 500 and some dollars of true extra. 2 hours of work, over an 8 hour span, and and 6 hours plugged in worth of electricity, where I don't have to babysit the PC, all this money above a sensible prebuild cost, for a retailer/build company, that has better deals than the man at the end.. /end of rant
I think ama get one because a few of the people I watch have them they are good I have been recommended them from moltanble people and I think they good
Trash company for $1500 you get a i5 and a GTX 1650 in 2022?! I don’t like Alienware but at least you get a i7 core and a 3060 for that price. Company is a scam bro
Honestly just stick to your in person store bought pcs like seriously at my best buy I can get a computer with a 3060 in it plus better cpu etc. For only 400 more usd, than this piece of junk apex silver that they want 1k for a 1650
Their prices are a complete ripoff. I've built my pc in 2016 without any knowledge of how to - with my friends' help via skype. Specs are following: i5-6500, gtx 970, 16 gb ram, 1tb hdd and some not cheapest but definitely not expensive other parts, total cost was about $800-900 at that moment. What these guys try to sell is just ridiculous. Yes, you can't get a gpu nowadays but you can still go search for a pre-built pc elsewhere and you certainly will find something better and cheaper, lol. I still use my 6 year old pc and won't change it soon since most games I still can play medium-high settings on 1080p and there is no opportunity to build a new gaming pc within reasonable price.
I like how you actually do the research for a better PC on Best buy and everything. Better then any other UA-camr that just puts a face in the thumbnail and just post it. Thanks for the tips!
Glad to help!

As an aspiring content creator gathering the hardware I thought about using them but then realized I’d be downgrading for the cheapest pc compared to my $600 laptop I currently have. In the future if I were to make it to where I’m getting sonsorships. I’d never become an affiliate with them just solely based on the price tags and base stats.
Best buy doesnt ship to the uk......
sadly this video did no justice to the video the context or the description. You can read all the specs you want all day long, you can post your financial opinions all day long, it isn't until you show their performance aspects does anything make any kind of sense to future buyers , streamers or gamers. It is with that thought that I will be posting actual videos that show off or display their capabilities that will help buyers into is this a good pc company or not. From my perspective they are absolutely amazing, along with every other computer company. NOW the difference between Apex and many other companies is, you get a computer that works more than a week without needing to send it in because it overheated and messed up some of the hardware. They don't just let you get an upgrade thats going to fry the internals, they make sure that the system is going to work and keep working. I have heard so many complaints about digitalstorm computers failing because people want a 3080 ti and 32gb ram and all this but they do not upgrade the power supply, they do not upgrade the motherboard and so there is a conflict with the cpu the gpu and fact that the system itself cannot handle the power draw, but for here, I didn't read or hear a single bad thing or anything that would discredit the company into saying oh they are overpriced, if nothing else makes me glad for my decision.
That is such bs if you browse that website rn they are giving them discount cuz they know they selling over priced trash for example the Apex gold is 1,449.95 WITH A i3 so they discount it to 1,079.00 you can not sit here and tell me that is worth it like wtf what do u need to compare when you can read some specs there are WAY!! better options than this you could consider only some idiot would waste their money on this overpriced trash(for 1,079.00 you CAN STILL BUILD A WAY BETTER SYSTEM LIKE BRUHHH really)and if you did buy one of their systems good job you wasted money
LIKE BRO 1,079.00 FOR A I3 WITH A 1650 HOW IS THAT WORTH IT LIKE BRRUHHH

I've never seen a PC fail for it not getting, and needing expert care, and precision of labour, sure people can mess up, but you compare pre-builds, with other intern assembled pre-builds, these people have never done it, get replaced bi-weekly, or they are just underpaid, worked to the bone and borderline abused people, and most PCs work, despite them spraying paste all over(not an issue now with non-conductive), being rough, breaking capacitors, cracking solders and bending pins, pushing on fans, forgetting spacers, and it goes on. Super overpriced, assembled by a student, or a part-timer, possibly filling in his aprrenticeship hourly quota, with even 15% up for parts compared to a retailer, that is already pays WAY under, than you do. it takes a lunch break to slap it together, and it just won't fail, if it runs, it won't. There are some lemons, but those are not really a case for your concerns. You could do worse, though, and they seem to do it right.
Nah, apex gaming is literally expensive asf offering that specs for 900$+ just try and buy a better prebuilt instead of buying their expensive stuff
Im trying to find a good pc thats not too expensive, but be able to play r6 and sea of theives and be able for me to edit videos
Don't buy from this company going on five months after purchase and they said they weren't even close to finishing iy
tuff hope you learn from this and research what your buying or consider other options
Even there $2,000 computer doesnt come with a RTX 3060 yet. The competition offers that card under 2k. These are definitly scams for the price. They give u GTX 1660 supers LMAO. I feel bad for who buys this for sure, you got suckered into buying low end for cost of high end.
$2000 dollars for a high end huh? You can’t even buy a RTX 3070 for $2000

Expensive but justified. They run very smooth, I do recommend them if you’re looking for quality
what quality
Bro they are so fucking ass litrally worth £300 and they selling a god damn athalon 3000g and a 1650 8gb ram for 1 grand like wtf, it’s so overpriced
@@pooferfish2850 I just went on their site from Heavy Burns, an RPG/ mod youtuber (and told him what I think of it), to see how they're really, and the prices are IN-SANE. Good 25 % + extra, or much more, for what you'd expect performance wise, and to get a functioning, tried, ready to go PC, set-up customarily.
Nevermind second hand (graphics is enough, the rest can be new, yeah) and the ability to get a 1000 dollar PC, and fish for cheap Windows, for the value of a 2400 dollar build of theirs.
There is quite some 100s of dollars "lost" somewhere in their service. If their cases were artisan, with ability to customize your piece thoroughly, the price range would be justified for such an item. They sell 1400 dollars worth of prebuild, for 2400+ with Windows. That's a 1000, where you could make do with 400 above MSRP for components, to set it up, and make money, if you have good deals.
Where is the value for 1400 dollars worth of new components at MSRP, for 2400. 80 dollars worth of stress testing, cable managment is "assembly and let it install-150 dollars", and setting up anything you want you could say 40 dollars, that's like 250 all work paid for dollars, say, for a mark up of 400, to close to even 800 dollars extra above "breaking even" , above MSRP price with WORK done, based on what their deal for Win, and parts are.
250 dollars, the rest is extra, 2400 dollar PC, with Win 11, for the value of 1400 dollar components, minus Win 11- 1600 dollars, you could sell and ship for 1800- to 2000.
Big, big mark-up. If you can't do it fast, and well, and not skin the customer, then why do it.
Why advertise, MY SERVICE, to build some poor sucker a snail PC, when he could have saved on twice the performance for the price, and several hours of his time, surely i'd want to save people from buying my services, if therte is nothing left for the parts.
You could do worse, but never would recommend. Cable fiddling, and stress testing, above what anyone can do in some hours, spending 1-2 hours doing the work, for surely 500 and some dollars of true extra. 2 hours of work, over an 8 hour span, and and 6 hours plugged in worth of electricity, where I don't have to babysit the PC, all this money above a sensible prebuild cost, for a retailer/build company, that has better deals than the man at the end..
/end of rant
It's not like they make the PCs. It's a bit of good, qualified work, for which they charge, extra, extra-A premium.

@@missionslos8856 yes tf
why mad?
the first pc you showed is not the cheapest build 16743 is
Their prices are a complete ripoff. I've built my pc in 2016 without any knowledge of how to - with my friends' help via skype. Specs are following: i5-6500, gtx 970, 16 gb ram, 1tb hdd and some not cheapest but definitely not expensive other parts, total cost was about $800-900 at that moment. What these guys try to sell is just ridiculous. Yes, you can't get a gpu nowadays but you can still go search for a pre-built pc elsewhere and you certainly will find something better and cheaper, lol. I still use my 6 year old pc and won't change it soon since most games I still can play medium-high settings on 1080p and there is no opportunity to build a new gaming pc within reasonable price.
I wish bestbuy was in the uk. Idk what pc to buy for ultra settings on sea of thieves and minecraft, want to see them cool rtx graphics and lighting.
same but australia for me
