Customer Service at Chicago location.
After shopping with Micro center for years and moving up north, i was down south, why is the chicago location tech support so horrible? No one will talk to you, no one will fix the mistakes they made. To think someone will just go away after spending so much money on a build is sad honestly.

Initially, I had issues running games built off Unreal Engine- they'd crash a bunch but I did my own fixes by disabling and…
