FAQ / Knowledge Base
I would like to be sponsored by NSXGAMING. Can I get free products from NSXGAMING to review?
Any deal or sponsorship inquiries can be directed to our marketing department via their email info@shopnowstore.com. If they are interested, they will reach out to you.
I haven't received a confirmation email.
You should receive an email confirmation within 30 minutes of placing your order.
If you haven't received your email confirmation after waiting, then an agent will need to get that sent to you.
When contacting our customer service, depending on the type of payment used for the order please have on hand:
Affirm - the Affirm loan ID associated with your order
AmazonPay or Paypal - AmazonPay or Paypal transaction ID
Credit or Debit Card - the name and last 4 digits on the card used for the order
I placed my order and the checkout processing was still continuing. Did my order go through?
If you received the confirmation email for the order, you are free to close out the webpage. Please reference the order number when contacting our customer service for assistance.
If you have not received the confirmation email, please check to see if your chosen payment method has been charged or if you have an Affirm Loan ID. It may take some time for the transactions to show up if it went through.
If your order did indeed not go through, feel free to place the order again.
I forgot to apply the coupon code when I purchased the computer. Can I add it now?
It happens to the best of us. This will be classified as an order change after the order has been placed. Please contact our Customer Service for further assistance on this.
How do I obtain the invoice/specs for my system?
If you are needing a copy of your component list or invoice you will need to contact our customer service team for assistance.
If you have received your order: Please make sure to have the serial number to your system on hand. It will be located on the "i-Series" sticker on the back of your system.
If you have not received your order: Please make sure you have the name and phone number associated with the order.
Can I get a price breakdown of all the parts in my build?
Unfortunately, as a system integrator we only sell full and completely assembled systems and not individual components. Therefore, we are not able to provide a price breakdown of your build. Accessories and shipping costs will be itemized. You can find the full cost of your build on your invoice.
What is the status of my refund?
Please contact our Customer Service for your cancel or refund status.
How does order cancellation work?
You have the ability to cancel your order before your system ships. If you are cancelling to re-order, your new order will not hold the same spot as your original order and will be queued to the back of the line. It may take 1-3 days to complete the cancellation after the request has been received and another 3-5 days for you to see the money refunded back to your payment method.
Where is my package?
If you were sent a tracking number and there are no updates beyond “Label Created”, sometimes packages are labeled ahead of time to facilitate easier pick up by our shipping services. There will be an update to the tracking page once the package has reached the courier's local sorting facility.
The carrier may have also canceled a pick-up, but we will ship out on the next available truck.
If the second situation were to happen, the original tracking number is often canceled and replaced with a new tracking number.
What does the lead time mean in my build?
The lead time should not extend past the initial estimate given when the order was placed. The lead time for the selected item is locked in at the time of ordering and is applied to the estimated ship date at customization.
What does Parts Gathering mean?
If your order is in the parts picking phase, that means we are now assigning parts to your order in preparation for assembly. Once your order has all of its parts assigned to it, your order will then move to the assembly stage to be built
What happens during the Quality Control/Burn-In phase?
Once your computer has been fully assembled, it will then head to QC and burn-in.
Quality control is where we have our production team thoroughly stress test your PC for any issues.
Once your computer has passed quality control, it will then go through burn-in to get Windows and other necessary software installed and updated.
If your order has encountered any issues with parts during this phase, the part will be exchanged and tested until it passes.
Once the QC and Burn-In phase has completed, your order will move on to get packaged.
My order says that it is waiting for shipment. Where is it?
After your computer has passed Quality Control and Burn-In, it will now be packaged in preparation for shipment. Our system shipments are limited to the amount of shipping trucks we have that day.
If you see that your order has been in waiting shipment for a few days, there is a likely chance that it's just waiting to be organized into a pallet for shipment. Tracking numbers are created when your order is right about to ship and is also sent to the email on file.
If you never received an email that contains your tracking number, please contact our Customer Service for further assistance.
Do orders take long in any certain stage?
All orders don't follow a set timeline during their build process. Some orders may take longer during one step than another for multiple reasons. We will do our best to make sure that it will still meet the expected ship date quoted to you during checkout.
After your order is submitted the payment will be verified and once completed the order will be approved. If your order has not been approved you may want to check your email to see if there was a problem with the payment for the order. Once your order has finished parts gathering, it will move on to assembly to be built, which is not too long of a process itself. From this point, it can take about a week and a half for your order to ship depending on how it does in the next phase, QC and Burn-in.
How long do orders stay in the pre-approval stage?
An order will be pre-approved and processing until the order is fully charged and ready to be picked. An order will also be in pre-approval phase until the lead time is over for a specific part of your order. If all parts are available, orders are usually reviewed and approved within a few business days or so from placing the order.
The pre-approval phase can be affected by a few things: Wait time of a part, current volume of orders, action needed on the order amongst other things can all affect pre-approval completion times. During peak seasons orders can take longer to process.
What cards do you accept?
We take American Express, Discover, Mastercard, G Pay, Apple Pay, and Visa for credit cards and debit cards. We also take AmazonPay and PayPal as our secure checkout options.
Can I split the payment for my order?
An order can be placed using a maximum of two credit or debit cards only, in whichever combination will work best for you. We require that all billing information is an exact match between the order and credit card company/banking institution. If you want assistance in making split payments, please contact our Customer Service for further assistance.
How do I resolve the payment issue on my order?
Please double check to see if you have entered the credit card information correctly. Check with your bank to verify that the billing address on your order matches with the address your bank has on file.
We also offer third-party payment options such as PayPal and Amazon Pay as well as Affirm financing (US only) if you are having trouble paying with your credit card.
If you are still encountering issues with payment, please feel free to contact us for further assistance.
When will payment be taken for my order?
We charge for your order once we have all the parts and the capacity to build your order. The time between submitting your order and you being charged can grow as we get increased demand.
I did not receive the link for payment. How do I get another one sent to me?
If you have not received a payment link to resolve the issue, you can contact our customer service for assistance.
How can I make monthly payments for my order?
We offer a monthly financing option through Affirm. Affirm is currently available in the US only, and it is subject to individual approval. If you are looking to make a down payment and have monthly payments, that is also handled completely through Affirm during your checkout process. Any questions regarding Affirm's loan agreement process and approval will need to be directed to Affirm at 855-423-3729.
Where can I leave a review?
If you want to provide any input on NSXGAMING's products and services, you can leave us a review. Please go to our Google Reviews.
Where is the reward for completing the reviews?
It can take up to 2 weeks to process the rewards from your reviews. If you have received the gift cards from the reviews and are encountering issues with redeeming them, then please contact our Customer Service for assistance.
I want to upgrade my system. Can I speak with someone for recommendations?
We do not sell individual components as upgrades for your NSXGAMING system. If you are interested in hearing upgrade recommendations for your NSXGAMING computer, we can provide some guidance.
If you have yet to purchase your system, but want some advice, you will need to talk to an agent about Pre-Sales.
Upgrade questions on an NSXGAMING system you own will be for our Technical Support team.
How do I maintain my liquid cooler? Do I need to refill the liquid?
The all-in-one coolers in most NSXGAMING systems are not designed to have their coolant refilled or replaced.
The only maintenance required is to keep the fans and radiator clear of dust by cleaning them periodically. A re-application of thermal paste may also be necessary every couple years to maintain best performance.
Only systems with full custom liquid cooling require coolant maintenance. The coolant should be flushed and refilled approximately once a year or whenever coolant starts looking cloudy. If you require assistance with this, please contact our support.
Can I get some tips on keeping my computer clean?
It is important to keep your system clean for the most optimal performance.
Make sure the system is completely powered off and you are in an open environment. Remove the front panel and both side panels to your system.
A can of compressed air is your best friend here. Vacuums are not preferable unless it is a vacuum designed specifically for computers.
Hold a can of compressed air a few inches away from the surface of any computer component and apply short bursts of air to blow out all the dust inside the system.
I am having trouble with the checkout.
If you are having trouble checking out, it may be due to the cache and cookies on your browser. You can try checking out through a different browser, clearing our website's cache and cookies for your current browser, or use the current browser's incognito/private browser setting. If you have a form of ad blocker, please turn that off temporarily.
Perform one of the above steps and try checking out again.
Can someone check if the parts in my build are compatible?
If your order was able to be submitted on our website, you’re good to go! Our configurator automatically checks for known compatibility issues and helps you resolve them before ever submitting your order. Things can pop up during building but in general the configurator will catch most if not all known issues.
I was notified that my order has a compatibility issue.
If you have parts compatibility questions or received an email regarding a compatibility issue with your order, please get in touch with our Customer Service for further assistance.
I already have a keyboard and a mouse; how do I remove them from my order?
The NSXGAMING standard mouse and keyboard come included with most of our computers. The mouse and keyboard cannot be removed from RDY and EZBuilder units. They can, however, be deselected from the configurator for custom builds.
If you are interested in removing the mouse and keyboard from an order you had already placed, an order change request made to Customer Service will need to be made to get that done
Do your computers come with a power cord?
Our computers come with the standard US power cord. You can find the power cord inside accessories bag that will come inside the packaging with your computer.
Will the thermal paste I selected be applied to the system?
Every production tech has a tube of each thermal paste at their station to apply to your order. Whichever thermal paste you've selected on your order will be applied at assembly by us. A fresh tube of the same thermal paste for future use should be included in your accessories bag, which you will receive alongside your system.
If you did not select a thermal paste for an additional cost, then the thermal paste that came pre-applied to the CPU cooler will be used instead.
Do the computers come with optical disk drives?
We do not sell computer cases that have a built-in DVD or Blu-Ray drive as a majority of them are manufactured without them. If you do need a disk drive for your computer, there are external options you can purchase. We also provide an option to add an external DVDRW Blu-Ray drive as you are customizing your computer on our website.
Can I get a computer that can run multiple video cards?
Crossfire and SLI (multiple GPU configuration) are no longer supported in our current builds and we do not recommend them for gaming purposes. For other use cases such as rendering or mining, users will have to purchase and install additional cards on their own. Please make sure the power supply, motherboard, and chassis purchased can support additional cards if this is the intention.
Do you provide rush service?
Rush service is provided for an extra fee when capacity allows.
Can I save and share my computer configuration?
We provide different options for you to use to save a quote.
Click the Summary button in the header of the configurator.
Then scroll down and click save. It will give you a choice to email you or to copy a personalized URL.
What parts do you guys have in stock?
If the part, service, or system you are inquiring about is listed on our website, then it is available for purchase.
If the item is not listed anywhere on the website, then we either do not carry the product or will no longer carry the product.
If the part is a pre-order item, then the part is not immediately available and has an estimate lead time to receive it. Selecting a pre-order item will automatically adjust the estimated ship date to account for the lead time.
The RDY I saw before does not have the option to be added to the cart. Are you still selling this build?
If the RDY you are interested in is currently sold out, then click the "Notify Me" so we can let you know when the system is back in stock. If the RDY shows as "Discontinued" we are no longer selling that build.
What graphics card/RAM brand will I be receiving?
Selecting just the base model will get you first available stock of the card that is available at the time your parts are pulled.
The video card model could be from a few different companies, such as ASUS, MSI, etc. We do not carry Founder's Edition.
The RAM models could be from Corsair, G. Skill, Adata, etc.
Once the parts for your build have been picked, you can then contact Customer Service find out which new part is being used.
Do NSXGAMING computers come with antivirus software?
Windows features its own antivirus called Windows Defender. It is not necessary to install further antivirus software. As long as you keep your Windows up-to-date, Windows Defender should be more than enough to keep your system protected.
What cooling options are provided?
Depending on configuration and parts availability, you will have a choice of either an air cooling heatsink and fan, all-in-one liquid cooling, or full custom liquid cooling for your NSXGAMING desktop computer. Air cooling is good for entry level systems where budget is a major concern. Both liquid cooling options are viable for good performance. All-in-one coolers are easier to maintain versus the more aesthetically pleasing custom cooling.
Can my video card have liquid cooling?
This depends on our supply of parts and what is available in the market. Liquid cooled graphics cards often require a very specific pairing of card model and water block. We will occasionally also offer all-in-one cooled hybrid graphics cards in certain configurations.
What happens to the extra case fans if I selected a liquid cooler?
Stock case fans will be included even if you have a liquid cooling system on your order.
Our production techs will do their best to include as many fans that are allocated to your order into the assembly of your system.
Where will the assembler install the extra fans?
Assemblers will use their best judgement for placement of fans, prioritizing aesthetic if RGB fans are selected, and performance if non RGB fans are selected. If you have a special request as to how you would like them installed, you can make that request in the special request box during check out. If you forgot to make the request before placing the order, an order change request will need to be made to get that done.
Does NSXGAMING price match?
We do not offer any price adjustments or matching.
What deals do you have?
All our currently active deals can be seen on our website. Deals are automatically applied to the order, but some promotions will need to be selected if applicable.
We also have special sales around most major holidays. Most special sales will start around the date of the holiday.
Our daily deals run for 24 hours and any other deals are generally while supplies last.
Can I trade in/exchange my system for a new system?
We do not offer our products up for exchanges or trade-ins. If you are interested in our products, you can place an order on our website.
How much sales tax will be applied to my order?
Sales tax is applied based on the order's shipping address so it will vary based on the state and zip code. Apply the tax rate for your intended shipping address to get an idea as to how much the order will be after tax has been applied.
Does the PC I ordered have Wi-Fi?
Not all of the systems we offer are Wi-Fi/Bluetooth ready, but all systems are ethernet capable as there is an ethernet port included in all motherboards.
If you have configured a computer to have a motherboard with integrated Wi-Fi, then you will not be able to select a wireless network card as an add-on.
If your selected motherboard does not have Wi-Fi capabilities already, then you can select a network card as an add-on.
If you have not received your system yet, to check if a configuration is Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capable, please refer to the product page for the unit. It can be found alongside the motherboard name.
If you have received your system, a quick way to check to verify your computer's Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capabilities is by looking at the back of your computer and checking to see if there are gold ports on the motherboard.
If your system does not have those gold ports, then the best solution would be to get a USB Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adaptor or PCIe Wi-Fi card to install to your system to get the wireless capabilities.
How much FPS will my PC run at?
We use 3DMark to measure our system’s FPS.
You can check the FPS of the computer you have customized or are interested in on the bottom left of the system's page.
You have the option to select which game to measure the computer's FPS with.
How do I get better FPS on my system?
If you want to try for higher FPS, you can adjust your processor, video card, and memory options.
What programs are going to be installed into my custom PC?
Only programs required for your system to run will be installed during production.
The Windows operating system will come pre-installed and just needs activation upon receiving your system.
Drivers and RGB software (if applicable and if it is not UWP) will be installed as well.
Any other software will have to be installed by you when you receive your order.
Can I place an order over the phone?
All orders must be placed online at the NSXGAMING website.
Once you have finished customizing the system, click "Add to Cart" to begin the checkout process. If your address has an apartment, suite, or unit number then please enter that designation onto 'Address Line 2.'
If you would like a consultation on what PC to purchase, please contact our sales team for assistance.
Do the systems come with the liquid cooling pre-installed?
We fully install and test all cooling systems before shipping them out. Our liquid-cooled AIOs come with water pre-filled and there is no need to “top-off” or “recharge” them periodically.
How do I overclock my computer?
We currently do not support overclocking on our CPUs or GPUs. Any overclocking done outside of NSXGAMING that leads to damaged components may not be covered under our warranty.
How do I return my order?
We offer you the option to return most products you purchase directly from NSXGAMING. For all purchases not made directly from NSXGAMING, please check the return policy of the location from which you purchased your product.

What is the RMA process?
Return merchandise authorization, or RMA, is needed when something has gone wrong with your computer and a return or repair is needed.
If you purchased your system through one of our trusted retailers ( Amazon, Walmart, Newegg, eBay, etc.), you will need to request an Etailer Form from us to fill out to get the RMA created. RMAs can be created for varoius reasons such as needing a replacement part under warranty, need to send your computer in for repair, and more.

Our RDYs come with free 2-day shipping for US addresses only. Canadian and military shipping addresses are excluded from this offer.
What shipping carriers do you use?
We use FedEx and UPS for most of our shipping needs, while military addresses will use USPS. All of our packages have an irremovable signature requirement as an extra measure to make sure your order securely gets delivered to you.
I ordered express shipping, but my order still hasn't arrived. What happened to express shipping?
Shipping times are separate from build times. Shipping times come into play once the system has completed the building phase and the carrier has picked up the system.
Ex. If you place an order for a configurator system with 3-day shipping that does not mean the system will get to you in 3-days. The system needs to get built first, which can take from 1-2 weeks. Once the system is ready to be shipped out and is then picked up by one of our shipping carriers, then you can expect for your order to be delivered in 3-business days.
How do I track my package after it is packaged?
Please use your provided tracking number to track your package and see delivery times.
If you do not see your tracking email, please check your spam folder as there is a chance that the tracking email was sent there. If you have checked and do not see tracking information, please contact Customer Service for further assistance.
Are the computers securely packaged before shipping?
We securely package our products with our own custom-packing foam before getting shipped out. Certain NVIDIA RTX 40 Series and AMD Radeon RX 7000/6000 Series cards are required to be shipped separately and uninstalled due to the high potential for damage during transit because of their large size and weight. NSXGAMING will provide an easy set of instructions for the installation, all you need is a screwdriver.
Do you guys ship outside of the US?
Currently NSXGAMING only ships products to the US, Centro America, and Caribbean.
How to hold package at a FedEx facility
If you have a FedEx tracking number, you can go to the FedEx website with that number to do a hold at location, add delivery instructions, etc. There is no need to contact FedEx or NSXGAMING. The request can be quickly made on the website yourself.
When you search up your tracking number on the FedEx website, you will need to click on "Manage Delivery" to make the changes.
PSA: FedEx's vacation holds only last up to 14 days. Once 14 days have passed, delivery attempts will resume.
If your order is shipped by UPS, If you have UPS MyChoice you may be able to redirect to a secure access point with your MyChoice account.

Windows
How do I update to Windows 11?
Windows 11 Home comes included at default and is pre-installed for all system offerings as of 10/5/21. If your system has Windows 10, it should be Windows 11 ready. Based on which processor you have, you will either have PTT or TPM. They both serve the same function. If you have Intel, then you will need to enable PTT. If AMD, then it is TPM. Either of these must be enabled to update to Windows 11.
Which drive is the OS going to be installed on?
The Windows operating system is installed on the fastest readable drive for the most optimal performance.
Do I need to select a Windows option?
Windows 11 Home comes included and is pre-installed for all system offerings.
Why can't I choose Windows Pro for RDYs?
Only configurator builds have the option to choose between going with the default Windows 11 Home or Windows 11 Pro at an additional cost. Configurator builds will also give you the choice of having a Windows Recovery USB added to your order in case you run into any issues with Windows that will require reinstallation.
How do I activate my Windows?
Windows activation should happen automatically once your system is connected to the internet, but sometimes it can take a few days.
If you're having trouble activating Windows 11, follow these steps to fix activation errors:
1. Check Windows Updates in Settings and click "Check for Updates"
2. Use the Activation troubleshooter to resolve simple errors. This can be done by:
- Going to Settings
- Searching for Activation
- Clicking on the button or link that says "Troubleshooting"
