Falcon Northwest or Maingear (2017)?

[computerclint]

Hello Everyone,

I've been a lurker for sometime. I know this topic comes up frequently and the answers range from very helpful to the usual you can build it for cheaper. Now that understood, I am torn between the two.

Falcon NW : Talon
Or
Maingear Rush x99 Super Stock

I've read both really positive and some negative reviews. My research shows Falcon is one of the oldest custom pc builders today.

Both made in the USA, and great support from what I've read.


So between these two companies that I narrowed down; is there a reason one should buy from the other?

Please let me know your thoughts on which is the better boutique shop to go to for PC gaming.

Thanks !

The build from Maingear (identical) is $2000 more than falcon.

Any reason you don't want to build you own? Plus I can't think of anything that would make me pay $2k more for a computer of identical parts (barring included software worth that amount).

Actually the $2000 difference is a better processor and liquid cooled GPU/CPU
