Custom PC Builds

An office machine is €799–€999 all in, a mid-range build €1,249–€1,589, a creative workstation €1,459–€3,429, and a home lab server €989–€2,659. Those numbers are well above 2025 prices because memory costs four to five times what it did and SSDs about two and a half times, not because the margin changed. The builder above shows exactly where the money goes. Try the PC advisor for an honest spec first.

Not always, and I'll tell you when it isn't. At the true budget end, big manufacturers buy components at a scale no one can match, and a basic office PC from them can be hard to beat on price. Where a build wins is everything above that: better parts you can actually replace, no proprietary motherboards or power supplies, no pre-installed junk, and a machine specced for what you do rather than a spreadsheet.

Parts are quoted at cost with the supplier invoice shown, and the build, cable management, BIOS setup, OS install, driver work and stress testing is the labour. You see exactly what the components cost, which is the part most shops won't show you.

In two parts. Once you approve the final spec, you pay for the components so they can be ordered in. I don't keep stock, so every part is bought new for your build at the price on the day, and you get the supplier receipts. The build fee (assembly, OS install, drivers and the overnight burn-in) is paid when you collect the finished PC. Klarna pay-in-3 is available if you'd like to spread the cost.

For office work, 16GB and a 1TB NVMe is the honest floor in 2026 (a 500GB drive now costs nearly the same as 1TB) and will stay comfortable for years. For creative work or virtualisation, 32GB. Going bigger than you need is expensive advice right now specifically because memory prices are inflated — and a machine with free slots can be topped up in 2027 when they come back down.

Yes. The machine arrives set up, updated, activated and with your data moved across from the old one, not as a bare box with a USB stick taped to it. Bloatware is not installed because there is no manufacturer being paid to put it there.

Every component carries its own manufacturer warranty, which you keep, and the parts list is handed over so you can claim directly even years later. If something fails during the build or in the first weeks, it gets sorted here.
