Aren't they the bag of dicks who took money for publicity... yup they are.
My first thought on hearing Origin is of Nvidia's paying them to drop AMD gpus...

No wonder they use Nvidia cards: starts at 999$.

Yeah, they aren't cheap. But for those who want a quality product without the "hassle" (as they see it) of building one, they get what they pay for.

Too expensive for my blood though!

I know this article is about HTPCs but I was curious what they would want for a nice gaming PC and all I can say is customers might be spared the effort of building their own rig but they sure pay for it

Basic Origin mid size case
Gigabyte Z97 mobo
i5-4690k
8 GB RAM
Corsair RM650
1TB HDD
120 GB Samsung 850 EVO
GTX 970
Sealed liquid CPU cooler (they didn't offer air coolers that I saw)
No KB, mouse, speakers

All items without manufacturers name could be any brand

Price $2,100 :eek:

If that is true, they missed a lot of news about Intel CPUs and Nvidia graphic cards and their power efficiency. You could say "You can`t cool GTX 970 with water".

The only way to get to the $999 starter price is:

H97 board
Pentium G3258
8GB Hyperx RAM
GTX960 2GB

They also carry AMD cards but they don't mention that on the press release for some reason. They even do Crossfire:
