General
There's no minimum. Tell us your budget and what you play, and we'll tell you straight what it gets you. As a guide, most strong 1440p gaming builds land between £2,300 and £3,500 today, depending mainly on the graphics card and memory. 4K builds, workstations and sim rigs go higher. Every build is quoted in writing, and the quote holds for 7 days because component prices are moving quickly.
Our only website is rigforgeco.com, and we're not connected to rigforge.co.uk or any other site with a similar name. We don't sell PCs through a basket or online checkout: every build is quoted in writing before you pay anything. RigForge Co. is a trading name of Thomas Jemmeson Engineering Ltd, company no. 13348957, which you can check on Companies House. If anything looks off, call us on 07387 826471 before you pay.
A Ryzen 7 9800X3D platform starts from £1,595: a new processor, motherboard, memory, cooler and power supply, and you keep your graphics card and drives. Smaller budgets get a cheaper platform, or just the one part that makes the difference. Keep your case if it's a decent one, or pick a new one; shop-bought PCs often need one. Your old parts are recycled for you, or come back to you if you'd rather sell them on. It usually takes 3 to 5 working days once your PC is with us. Our fitting labour is covered for 12 months, and the parts you keep stay under their own warranty.
Yes, Windows desktop PCs, including ones we didn't build. We don't repair laptops or consoles. Diagnosis is £45 and comes off the bill if you go ahead, and we'll tell you what's wrong and what it costs before we do anything else. Prices are on our Repairs and Upgrades page. For a new processor, board and memory in your existing case, see Build Around Yours.
