Custom-building a PC can vary widely in cost, much like the length of a piece of string. A basic home PC with good airflow and aesthetics can start at around £325. For this price, you would receive a modern quad-core CPU with integrated graphics, 16GB of RAM, a 500GB NVMe SSD, a reliable power supply, a wired keyboard and mouse, wireless internet connectivity, a power lead, and an HDMI cable, along with a 2-year return-to-base warranty. This setup is capable of handling light gaming and everyday tasks like web browsing, document editing, and video watching.
When considering a gaming PC, the cost depends heavily on the games you want to play, the resolution (with 1080p being the most common), and desired frames per second (FPS). A basic gaming PC capable of 1080p at 60 FPS generally starts around £500-£600. If you're aiming for mid-range 1440p gaming, a budget of £1,200 to £1,500 is advisable.
For high-end gaming PCs, especially for 4K gaming with a high frame rate, costs can exceed £2,000, particularly for top-tier graphics cards. Custom water cooling and premium components can drive the price even higher, sometimes reaching over £5,000. However, high-end gaming can still be achieved at a lower budget if you're focused on older or less demanding titles.
In summary, a custom PC can range from £325 to over £5,000 based on your specific needs. Feel free to reach out for a discussion and a free, no-obligation quote.
