Unfortunately, learning how to actually build your own computer can be difficult.
To an outsider looking in, the hobby can be a daunting mess of wires and circuit boards.
(Expensivewires and circuit boards.)
For that very reason, many PC users opt for a pre-built computer from one of countless companies.
Thats whereNZXTs new BLD Kitcomes in.
Or is this simply a way for the company to offset labor costs onto the consumer?
It takes the guesswork out of finding the right parts while still offering user hands-on PC building experience.
Whats in the box?
A 183-page instruction manual that walks you through the build, plus OEM installation guides for every part.
An assortment of cables, screws, fasteners, and zip ties for cable management.
Windows 10 Home edition DVD and authentication key.
Youll need to buy those separately or use the accessories you already own.)
It also gives users plenty of warning if a part requires extra care or specific handling.
Of course, the true test of any build is whether the PC turns on properly once its finished.
Once the PC is on, theres not much else to do.
You dont need to drop in the operating system, the motherboard BIOS, or any other system-level software.
In terms of hardware power, NZXTs Streaming Pro PC is great.
For the most part, the computer has run properly in the week since I completed it.
Ultimately, I hard-wired the PC to my router to circumvent the issue.
While my internet speeds are now normal again, the slow wifi connection persists.
Im not blaming NZXT nor the BLD Kit for my wifi woes.
For that reason, the NZXT BLD Kit (or building a PC in general) isnt for everyone.
Is NZXTs BLD Kit worth it?
Its arguably the best way to buy a PC right now.
