Motherboard

Responsible for power delivery to the CPU and connectivity for all other components. We recommend pairing high end motherboards with high end CPUs, the default selection for mid-range CPUs & entry-level motherboards with entry level CPUs.

PSU (Power Supply)

As configured this system will draw a max of 0watts, we recommend a +100 watt buffer as power supplies run most efficiently at below 90% load. The Bronze/Gold/Platinum rating indicates AC to DC conversion efficiently (85%, 90% & 92% respectively). What is an ATX 3.x / PCIe 5.x PSU?

550w 80 Plus Gold $20 OFF

750w 80 Plus Gold PCIe 5 $45 OFF

850W 80 Plus Gold PCIe 5 $40 OFF

1000W 80 Plus Gold PCIe 5 $155 OFF

850W 80 Plus Platinum PCIe 5 $80 OFF

1000W 80 Plus Platinum PCIe 5

1200W 80 Plus Gold PCIe 5 $65 OFF

Optical Drive

Have some old software, movies or albums you'd like to be able to use? Modern PC cases no longer come with internal mounting bays but external optical drives can be used instead. They plug in via USB when needed and can be unplugged and put away when not being used.

NoneCD/DVD External USB Reader/Writer

BluRay External USB Reader/Writer

Chassis

Plenty of styles to suit any taste and need. Differences between the options to consider include dimensions, airflow, and I/O panel offerings

CPU Cooler

High core count pro/server grade CPUs like the Threadripper Pro series produce a lot of heat under sustained high loads. Entry level models can be adequately cooled with an air cooler but we recommend liquid cooling for mid and high end CPU options.

Fans

Your chassis, GPU and CPU cooler will already come with fans. No extra fans are ever necessary but the following options are available for those who would like to swap them out for something else.

Stock Chassis & Cooler Fans

Hydraulic Bearing (HDB) PWM Fans

Premium Magnetic Bearing Fans

Ultra Quiet Ultra Durable Noctua A Series Fans

Fan sets include 5 units unless otherwise limited by chassis selection. Any existing chassis fans will be removed.

Networking

Some motherboards come with WiFi included and all come with wired ethernet. Wired (ethernet) is always best for speed & latency however if the selected motherboard does not include WiFi and Wired is not an option for you, you'll need one of the adapters below.

Additional 10G Ethernet Adapter [Special Order]

Additional Dual 10G Ethernet Adapter [Special Order]

Operating System

99% of home or small business users will only ever need the Home edition of Windows. The key benifits of the Pro edition are, support for over 128GB of RAM, BitLocker disc encryption, group management policies, kiosk mode & remote update deployment. The full list of features can be found at microsoft.com

Warranty

We carefully select only the most reliable hardware from top trusted brands & extensively test all PCs prior to dispatch. Standard warranty covers components for the duration of the component manufacturer warranty (min 3 years) & requires the PC or failed component to be returned to us. Premium warranties cover the cost of return shipping (provided you retain the original packaging) and revert back to the balance of the standard warranty when complete.

* 'Return to Base'. (1) 3 years minimum, up to 5 years on some models Gold or high rated PSUs & Pro / NVMe SSDs. (2) From order date & reverts to balance of standard warranty once complete. (3) provided you keep the original packaging the PC is delivered in. ^ base price further adjusted by +5-7% of PC value that exceeds $2,000.
