Custom PC build exceeded the spec sheet
Had Optimist build my gaming PC and the experience put big-box prebuilts to shame. Their builder Ren suggested smarter component swaps that saved money while improving thermals, cable management inside is artwork-level tidy, and the machine shipped with a stress-test report documenting every component. Booted first try, benchmarks match or beat reference builds. Communication throughout via Discord was fast and human. Wholeheartedly recommended.
