Easter Weekend Update: New Stock, a Refurb Bargain & a Bit of Tech Drama
Despite it being the Easter weekend, I’ve managed to stay busy — there’s been plenty going on behind the scenes here at Elite PC’s!
🛒 New stock has been added to the webshop, so feel free to have a browse and see what’s landed.
🖥️ I’ve also finished refurbishing a new gaming PC, which is now live on the site. It’s a serious bargain at just £425, and comes with a 2-year warranty. Easily one of the best-value builds I’ve listed in a while.
📅 New feature alert: I’ve added a booking page to the website! You can now easily schedule a time to drop off your PC for servicing, upgrades, or just pop in for a chat about how I can help with your next build. Consultations are completely free, so don’t hesitate to book a slot.
😅 Now for a bit of drama — while trying to switch the webshop over to WordPress for easier content editing, I accidentally took the whole site offline for a couple of hours. Thankfully, ChatGPT came to the rescue and talked me through the fix. Crisis averted!
💻 The WordPress version may still go live at some point, but it’s going to be a gradual side project — so stay tuned.
Thanks for checking in — and as always, keep an eye on the site for new builds, deals, and updates!

Another Busy Day at Elite PC’s
It’s been another productive day here at Elite PC’s, with two fresh gaming rigs completed and ready to shine!
First up is a mid-range gaming PC heading to the webshop. It features an Intel Core i5-13400F paired with an Intel ARC A580 12GB graphics card, all running on an MSI PRO H610M-G motherboard. It comes with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB Corsair MP600 CORE XT NVMe SSD, neatly installed in the stylish CiT Sauron case. To keep things running cool, we’ve added extra case fans along with a GameMax Twin 600 CPU cooler—this build stays cool as a cucumber.
The second build is another mid-range powerhouse, this time built around an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, kept in check by a 360mm Vida Aquilo ARGB liquid cooler. It’s mounted on a Gigabyte A620M Gaming X motherboard, paired with 32GB of Team T-Force Delta DDR5-6000 CL30 RGB RAM. Storage is handled by a fast 2TB Team MP44L NVMe SSD, and we’ve included a Mercusys AX3000 WiFi and Bluetooth card for solid connectivity.
Graphics duties are covered by a Gigabyte RX 7600 XT 16GB, with some extra RGB flair thanks to CiT Pro ARGB motherboard extension cables—both the 2x 8-pin GPU and 24-pin ATX. Everything comes together in the eye-catching Vida Arcade ARGB case, powered by a CWT 850W 80+ Gold fully modular PSU. This build features a total of six ARGB fans, plus lighting on the GPU cables, 24-pin motherboard cable, CPU cooler pump head, and front panel. Because honestly—can you ever have too much RGB?
Keep an eye on the blog to see what happens next with this second PC—it’s not going on the webshop, and that’s all I’m saying for now 😉

Customer Repair & New PC Listing Update
Yesterday evening, a customer called me about a failed drive in their PC. Early this morning, they dropped it off for inspection. The system was a prebuilt PC from a major online builder—overall well-assembled, but I wouldn’t personally recommend using an Intel stock cooler on an i9. The thermal paste had also seen better days.
✅ Replaced the failed drive
✅ Upgraded the cooler to properly handle the i9’s heat output
(Sadly, I forgot to take pictures—my bad! 😅)
After that, I spent the afternoon finishing up an entry-level 1080p gaming PC, which is now live in my online webshop. If you’re looking for a solid budget-friendly gaming rig, be sure to check it out!
