Gaming PCs are usually custom built with high-end graphics card, processors, plenty of RAM, storage, and some RGB lights. The Origin Chronos packs all the firepower inside a smaller chassis similar to the Corsair One. This probably makes it the best gaming pc in a small package. If you want a use for your old computer you won’t use anymore, take a look at our guide to how to turn an old computer into the mother of all jukebox’s.

Why We Like It – Origin PC Chronos

The Origin PC Chronos is an excellent and customisable gaming rig that features a small form factor, powerful hardware, and an efficient power supply unit. The gaming performance delivered by this small desktop will leave you in awe. And since it is a custom PC, you can upgrade all the parts as they age. If you want a custom case too, check out the In Win H-frame aluminum computer case (flux capacitor not included).

Performance

The Origin Chronos PC is powered by a 10th generation Intel Core i7-10700K 8-core processor, which is paired with 16GB DDR4 3000Mhz RAM for extreme performance. For graphics, Origin has equipped the system with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with 6GB memory. Again, this is highly customisable, so you do get the option to upgrade before you buy one. The system has 1TB of SSD storage and a 256GB SSD for fast bootup. It certainly packs more performance than the CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme Gaming PC.

Design

The Origin PC Chronos has a small form factor case, which has a minimal design with square edges. There’s a side panel with some vents and a transparent section that lets you see the graphics card. The front side of the case has two USB ports, a headphone jack, and a microphone in. You also get the option to add RGB lighting on the inside for extra cost. If you want massive transparent side panels and LED fans, then the iBUYPOWER Pro Gaming PC is a better option.

Value

When it comes to gaming performance in a small package, the Origin Chronos is great value for money. You get the latest 10th generation Intel Core chipsets, fast RAM, plenty of storage, and powerful graphics. Origin has even included the option to add a 750Watt Corsair power supply inside the small case. In the graphics department, you can go all the way up to the GeForce RTX Titan with 24GB video RAM. Of course, if you’re on a budget, then the SkyTech Blaze II Gaming PC is going to be much more value for money.

Origin PC Chronos Wrap Up

Origin PC makes some of the best gaming PCs on the planet, and the Chronos is a great example. If you don’t have a lot of room on your desk and want a space saving gaming machine, the Chronos is the answer. It’s powered by the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 chipset, supports upgrades, and has a 750W power supply. The small case does make cleaning a little difficult, but that’s not a deal breaker.
