Rent a PC with NZXT, but unlike Nvidia’s GeForce Now it actually gets shipped to you
Table of Contents
In case you haven’t got enough subscriptions draining your bank account yet, you can now subscribe to a gaming PC that actually gets sent to you. So if you do not want to outright buy a prebuilt or build your own, you can just go for this option from NZXT. There are three different options you can pick from from one to three Flexes that start from $59 but go up to a staggering $169 a month for them.
This is reminiscent of Nvidia GeForce now, but with its current summer sale, you can get an RTX 4080 gaming PC for $10 instead, which is a hella lot less. But with that, you don’t get whole system access, and is certainly more focused on gaming. This might be useful for those wanting to try out getting a whole PC but it’s uncertain why you wouldn’t just finance a prebuilt PC. Although in its announcement it does say you do get a guaranteed PC upgrade every two years, a lifetime warranty with 24/7 support and it gets sent within three to five days.

These costs do add up quickly, as the One Flex after two years will come out to $1,416 with a 4060 on board, the Two comes to $2,856 with a 4070 Super, and the Three adds up to $4,056 containing a 4070 Ti Super. All of these quite easily shatter the pricing of building on your own or even going for a prebuilt (especially as you can buy them from NZXT directly for a lot less). But I suppose the option of an upgrade and being replaced has some value to it if you don’t want to deal with it.
NZXT Flex subscription PC specs
In its release, NZXT has specified what hardware is on board, although each subscription page seems to be an old spec or there is some discrepancy between the two. So there is no definite confirmation on the RAM and storage in the press release but apart from some changes in the CPU and GPU the rest may be the same but might not be final.
| Player: One | Player: Two | Player: Three | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i5-14400F (12400F on page) | AMD Ryzen 5 5600X | Intel Core i7-13700KF |
| GPU | Nvidia RTX 4060 (3050 on page) | Nvidia RTX 4070 Super (4070 on page) | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super (4070 Ti on page) |
| RAM (unconfirmed) | 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz | 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz | 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 5600MHz |
| Storage (unconfirmed) | 500GB NVMe SSD | 1TB NVMe SSD | 1TB NVMe |
| Case | H5 Flow | H5 Elite | H7 Flow |
| Price | $59/month | $119/month | $169/month |
These differences might come from the fact it’s on the same page as actually buying the prebuilds themself and NZXT hasn’t updated it. But at least they do feature an NVMe SSD for speed although a bit lacking in space, but only the top-end Player: Three gets DDR5 RAM whilst the others are stuck on DDR4, which does make sense with the Two as it’s on AM4, but it feels quite expensive to go for such a system.
You also get a choice of white or black colors for your system, but still, it’s quite a lot of money to shill out for a long period. It does work if you only use it for a couple of months, but over the years it’s way more expensive than a standalone.
