Custom PC Builds
A machine built around what you actually do.
Purpose-built desktops — gaming, work, or workstation — assembled from a parts list spec’d to your budget and needs. Choose parts from my in-stock hardware (clearance up to 50% off, limited time) or bring your own; assembly, OS setup, and testing are done here, by drop-off appointment.
Off-the-shelf PCs are built to hit a shelf price, not to fit your work. A build starts from what you actually do — gaming, video editing, CAD, general home use, or a small-business workstation — and puts your budget where it counts. I help you land on the right parts list; you choose and pay for the parts — from my stock or your own; I assemble, test, and set it up.
What’s included
- Honest parts-list advice for work, gaming, editing, or general use — you choose the parts, from my in-stock hardware or your own
- Assembly, wiring, OS install, drivers, and updates
- Data and setup migration from your old machine (bring it along)
- Stress-testing before hand-off
- Assembly done here — drop-off by appointment, no in-home setup visits
Honest parts-list advice
There’s no shortage of “gamer” branding markup or parts padded with RGB and marketing rather than performance. I’ll suggest components based on what actually moves the needle for your use case — a faster drive and enough memory usually matter more day-to-day than a flashier case. If a part you already own is still good, I’ll say so and reuse it; I won’t tell you to buy something you don’t need — including from my own stock.
For a business workstation, reliability usually matters more than raw speed. For gaming or creative work, I’ll walk through the real tradeoffs — where your budget buys the most noticeable improvement versus diminishing returns on the top-tier part. Either way, you decide what gets bought and where it comes from.
Pricing & policy, honestly
The assembly is quoted as a flat fee before you commit — the parts themselves are paid for by you, either from my in-stock hardware or directly from whoever you order from. No payment up front on the build fee; you pay when it’s done. Not insured, not a licensed contractor — a one-person hobby and second job.
Questions
Do you source or sell the parts?
Yes, from what I have in stock — MSI Pro B650 boards, Ryzen 7 7700X CPUs, CPU coolers, DDR4, ARGB and non-ARGB fans, gaming cases, 650W Gold PSUs, and 1–2 TB NVMe drives, with a clearance sale of up to 50% off for a limited time. You choose and pay for the parts — buy from my stock, order your own, or mix the two. I’ll help you put together an honest parts list for your budget and use case either way.
Why not just buy a pre-built PC?
Pre-builts are assembled to hit a price point, which usually means a corner cut somewhere — a weak power supply, cramped airflow, or parts padded out with a brand name you’re paying extra for. Building from a list you chose spends your budget on the parts that actually matter for what you do.
Can I reuse parts I already have?
Usually, yes. Bring what you have and I’ll tell you honestly what’s worth keeping and what’s actually worth upgrading — no pressure to replace things that still work. Any new parts can come from my in-stock hardware or from wherever you prefer to buy.
Do you offer a warranty?
Components carry their own manufacturer warranties. I’m not insured and this is a one-person hobby, so if something I did during assembly is the problem, I’ll make it right — but there’s no formal service contract.
How do I know what parts to buy?
We talk through what you actually do with it day to day — gaming, editing, general use, or business workstation duty — and I’ll suggest a parts list that matches that. You choose where the parts come from — my stock or your own order.
Do I pay anything up front?
No. No payment is taken up front for the assembly work — you pay when the build is done and tested. (Parts are paid to whoever you buy them from — me, if they come from my in-stock hardware.)
