Custom PC Builds in Ottawa
Gaming, streaming or workstation PCs planned around your budget and what you'll run, then assembled, set up and stress-tested. Bring your own parts, or we'll source them.
Parts list first · Assembled, updated and stress-tested · Quoted upfront
A good custom PC starts with what you'll actually do on it: the games and resolution you play at, the editing or engineering software you run, how quiet it needs to be, and the budget. Spend in the right places and a mid-range build can outperform a pricier prebuilt.
We plan the parts with you, check that everything is compatible, then assemble it carefully, install Windows and drivers, set the BIOS up properly and stress-test it before you take it home.
What a Custom Build Includes
Parts list planned with you
CPU, graphics card, memory, storage, power supply, case and cooling matched to your budget and use, with compatibility checked.
Your parts or ours
Buy the parts yourself from the retailer you prefer using our list, bring parts you already have, or have us source them.
Careful assembly
Clean cable management, correct airflow, and front-panel, fan and RGB connections done right.
BIOS and Windows set up
Latest BIOS, memory XMP or EXPO profile enabled and stable, Windows installed with current drivers and nothing extra.
Stress-tested before handover
CPU, GPU and memory tested under load, temperatures checked, so problems show up here and not at home.
Upgrades to an existing PC
A new graphics card, power supply, CPU or storage added to the PC you already have, checked for fit and power.

Custom PC Builds FAQs
Can I bring my own parts?
Yes. Send us the list first and we'll check compatibility and power before you buy, or flag anything that won't fit or work together.
How long does a custom PC build take?
Usually a few days once all the parts are in hand, including setup and stress testing. We give you the timeline with the quote.
Is building a PC cheaper than buying a prebuilt?
Often, at the same performance, and you choose every part including the power supply and cooling that prebuilts tend to skimp on. We'll be honest if a particular prebuilt is a better deal for your budget.
Do you install Windows on the build?
Yes, with your own Windows licence or one you buy, plus current drivers. No bloatware.
Can you upgrade my existing gaming PC instead?
Yes. We check whether your power supply, case and motherboard can take the new part, install it and test it under load.
