MTech Builds / Custom builds
A gaming PC built around your games, not a shelf.
Every part is new and chosen for the resolution, refresh rate and titles you actually use. You get an itemized parts list with labor on its own line, the machine is load-tested before it goes home, and local builds are set up and running before handover.
- New parts
- Every component new, with its manufacturer's warranty
- 3-6 days
- Parts ordered, built, loaded and tested
- Itemized
- Every part and price on its own line
Tiers
Three targets to start from.
Match the tier to your monitor rather than to the price. A 1080p screen does not need a 4K machine, and a high-refresh 1440p screen needs the top tier before it is worth owning.
1080p High
Quote first1080p, high settings, 60-144 fps
- 6-core current-generation CPU
- 16GB DDR5 memory
- 1TB NVMe SSD
- Mid-range 8GB graphics card
- 650W 80+ Bronze power supply
- Windows 11 installed, updated and activated
1440p High
Quote first1440p, high settings, 100 fps and up
- 8-core current-generation CPU
- 32GB DDR5 memory
- 2TB NVMe SSD
- Upper-mid 12-16GB graphics card
- 750W 80+ Gold power supply
- Windows 11 installed, updated and activated
1440p Ultra / 4K
Quote first4K at 60 fps, or 1440p at high refresh
- Top-tier 8-16 core CPU with an AIO cooler
- 32-64GB DDR5 memory
- 2TB NVMe SSD, with room for more
- Flagship graphics card
- 850W 80+ Gold power supply
- Windows 11 installed, updated and activated
Starting prices are set per build, because the graphics card decides most of the cost and it changes with what is available that week. Anything outside these three, small-form-factor, low-noise, sim or editing builds, is quoted individually.
The build
From the games you play to a tested machine.
No parts are ordered until the itemized quote is approved, so nothing changes underneath you.
- 01
Tell me the target
The games, the monitor's resolution and refresh rate, your budget, and whether the machine has to fit a particular desk or shelf.
- 02
A parts list with prices
An itemized quote, every part and its price on its own line, with the build labor separate. Nothing is ordered until you approve it.
- 03
Build and test
Assembled, cables routed, Windows installed, updates and drivers applied, then a sustained load test on the bench before it is called done.
- 04
Handover
Collected in Flemington, met up nearby, or shipped tracked and insured. Local builds get set up and running at your place.
Questions
Shipping a PC in for a build.
Sending a machine in, packing it so it arrives whole, and how it comes back: assembled, tested, and boxed the same way.
Questions
Custom builds, answered.
What drives the price, which tier your monitor actually needs, small-form-factor work, and what happens if a part fails.
Build guides
Work out the tier before the parts list.
What the extra money buys at each tier, what a used graphics card saves, and whether a prebuilt is the better deal.
Prebuilt or custom gaming PC
The honest answer is that both can be good value, and the deciding factor is not the label but five lines on the spec sheet. Here is what to check before you buy either one.
Read the guideShould you pay someone to build it?
Assembly is the least transparent line on a build quote. Here is what a bench charge actually covers, what the going rate is, and when doing it yourself is the right call.

A thousand dollars is still the most common budget and still the most misunderstood. Here is the honest machine it buys, and what it can and cannot do.

Tell me the screen's resolution and refresh rate, the titles you care about and the budget. The parts list comes back itemized.
