Custom PC builds in Wakefield
A PC built around what you actually do with it and what you actually want to spend, with the full parts list in front of you before anything is ordered.
No charge if you decide not to go ahead.
Prebuilt machines are built to hit a price on a shelf, which is why they so often pair a strong graphics card with a weak power supply, or eight gigabytes of memory with a processor that deserves more. The compromises are in the parts nobody puts on the box.
Building to order means the money goes where it does something. For a gaming machine at a given budget that usually means the graphics card; for video editing it means cores and memory; for a machine that just needs to be quick and quiet it means neither of those.
How a build works
And what you want to spend
A real number is more useful than a vague one. It is the constraint the whole design works within.
You get a parts list
Every component, itemised, before anything is ordered. No mystery parts and no bundles that hide what is actually in the machine.
Built and tested
Assembled, wired properly, Windows installed and updated, temperatures and stability checked under load before it goes anywhere.
Set up and explained
Handed over working, with the parts list and a plain explanation of what everything in it does.
Room to grow
Built so that the obvious upgrade in two years is a part swap rather than starting again.
Upgrading what you already have
A full build is not always the answer. A machine that is three or four years old is often one component away from doing what you want, and a graphics card or a memory upgrade is a fraction of the cost of starting over.
Tell us what you have got and what you are trying to do with it, and we will tell you honestly which of the two makes more sense. Sometimes the answer is that you do not need us.

Questions people ask
How much does a custom PC cost?
It depends entirely on what it is for, so rather than publish numbers that would not apply to you, tell us the budget and what you want to run and we will show you what it buys.
Is it cheaper than buying a prebuilt?
Not always on the sticker price. It is usually better value, because nothing is quietly downgraded to hit a shelf price.
Can I supply my own parts?
Yes. Tell us what you have already and we will work around it.
Do the parts still have a warranty?
Components keep their own manufacturer warranties, and we will point you at the right one if something fails. Our own ninety days covers the build work and anything we supplied.
Can you fix a PC I built myself?
Yes, and that includes the ones that have never posted. That is a very common job and not one to be embarrassed about.
Tell us what it is doing.
A message with the make, the model and the symptom is enough to start. Quotes are free and there is no charge if you decide against it. We are open 24 hours, so send it whenever suits you.
