To anyone considering buying a Corsair prebuilt PC, like the i8200, do yourself the mother of all favors and buy your PC from anyone but Corsair. They use proprietary BIOS in all their prebuilt PCs, meaning you will not be able to download critical BIOS updates directly from the motherboard manufacturer, the way it should be.
Why should this be a deal-breaker? Simple. It's been two full weeks since Intel has released the 0x129 microcode for their 13th & 14th gen cpus....and still NO BIOS updates have been provided by Corsair. Every motherboard manufacturer, including ASUS, the maker of my mobo, have released updated BIOS containing this crucial and potentially cpu-saving update. Even Dell, with their notoriously subpar customer service and unintelligible tech agents, have provided their customers with updated BIOS for their proprietary motherboards. Corsair, on the other hand....NADA. You could probably get better, more attentive customer & tech support from someone selling a stolen PC out of the trunk of their car.
Give your money to a vendor that actually cares about its customers, unlike Corsair.
Thinking about getting this prebuilt pc from Corsair.com. Would be playing the new star field on it as well as games like rust and Hogwarts legacy. I would only be gaming on it. I built my current pc but not really looking to build another one. Probably gunna upgrade the monitor as well. Any suggestions for a monitor to go along with this prebuilt?
