Normally around this time of year you get invited to some event/gathering, you look out side at the weather and then glance back to your cosy space and start thinking of all the reasons you can't go out...but not this year this year the government is literately telling you to stay in and keep cosy and safe. With lockdown in effect bars and restaurants are closed.

What to expect:
Taking advantage of AMDs superior pricing to bring a fresh lease of life to your home office or family living room. Equipped with the quad core Ryzen 3 3200G, clocked at an impressive 4GHz Turbo, this generation dials up the clock speeds while retaining the RX Vega integrated graphics meaning no need to spend extra on a dedicated GPU, all while still keeping the same price range - talk about great value! Keeping the theme of great value, the motherboard is from the B450 range meaning it is not lacking features, and includes both a m.2 drive port PCIe/SATA, High Speed Gigabit LAN, Reatek 7.1 HD Audio, and HDMI 1.4 and DVI-D, ports for multiple displays. This also means that Overclocking is an option if you really want to squeeze every bit of value out of this system. This CPU/MB combo is paired with a 120GB SSD for super quick boot and read/write times and 8GB DDR4 RAM means you won't be left wanting when it comes to multi-tasking. Have multiple web browsing tabs open for research while you type away, making this PC a great tool for both professional office work and for homework/assignments. Although not a hardcore gaming PC by any stretch, this PC does have the capability to play lots of games on reduced settings making it great for a casual gaming, meaning it is a perfect family PC, while also having the potential to add in a dedicated graphics card meaning it can become one. Upgrade to the 3400G for even better performance or add in a fully dedicated GPU to bring the gaming performance to the next level.

What to expect:
Using the second release of AMDs frankly quite impressive APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), which is designed to act as a CPU and GPU on a single chip, this takes advantage of the built-in graphics of the processor to run your display and games. Perfect for a console style build (ask about m-ITX) designed to hook up to the big TV and play games while kicking back on the couch. Don't worry about space being an issue if you want to upgrade in the future as this case can fit in full sized GPU and most CPU coolers, making this build a great choice if you're looking for a PC now but are willing to wait till the next generation of GPU releases, or if you want to save up to afford your dream graphics card. Don't be expecting to run the latest and greatest games on full settings, but if you're happy being a patient gamer and playing the hit titles from a few years back, dropping to a lower resolution, or lowering a few settings on newer releases, this would be a great way to get yourself started into PC gaming. Don't forget the 1000's of quality indie games that take very little to run or the extremely popular esports titles that this APU can handle: games like Fortnite, Rocket League, Dota 2, League of Legends, Counter Strike Global Offence, Overwatch, and many more. Very much an entry level system, this would be a great starter for someone who needs a new PC, but is unsure if they will take to the gaming side of things, or a cautious parent who does not want to break the bank only for their child to lose interest after a few weeks. Featuring top-end components to complete the build, like the super fast 3200MHz DDR4 RAM and B450 AM4 motherboard that is capable of overclocking the 3400G to push its capability even more. Best of all, if you find yourself smitten by the world of PC gaming there is no reason you can't add in a dedicated graphics card to push your gaming even further, and with the 650w PSU you have no worry about power constraints. As a special offer for this deal we are offering a no service fee upgrade if you choose to buy a GPU in the first 6 months.

What to expect:
Cutting as much cost as we can without sarcfingcing , this is a much improved alternative to Deal#2 and the perfect addition to the living room or study as not only does it play good, it looks good too. This build ups the cost to afford a much better CPU, the wonderful Ryzen 5 2600, as well as a dedicated GPU: the RX 580.This build ups the ante when it comes to performance, with the Ryzen 2600 bringing another 2 cores for a total of 6. The real difference between the builds will truly shine through when you fire up your game of choice - the RX 580 will blow the Vega iGPU out of the water! This is a big step up from the go to combo for budget systems over the past year and doesn't disappoint. The hex core R5 2600 clocked at an impressive 3.9GHz is on par with Intel's i5 models, and the RX 580 is a great mid level GPU that gives impressive performances at 1080p. This PC offers modern gaming on a budget, playing all current games on full HD, 1080p 60Hz, including the ever popular Fortnite and Rainbow 6 Siege. There will be some compromises on graphics settings on the most recent or soon to be released games if you really want to push your FPS higher, but nevertheless you can expect games to still look quality. A great idea for a family PC that plays games, acts as an entertainment system, and runs your office suite for homework/study whilst still having plenty of scope to upgrade. The CPU is a great piece of hardware and wouldn't be out of place even in high end builds, meanwhile the 550w PSU is capable of Overclocking the CPU and supporting even high end GPUs if you choose to upgrade down the road. With space for M.2 NVMe SSD and free spaces for RAM means this PC could very well go from a great value mid level build to high end battle-station in a few simple steps.

What to expect:
Based off the same core parts as build #3, this build improves on the less glamorous parts for those who are happy with playing at 1080p (for the time being) but want to make sure the rest of their PC is the best they can get so when time comes to upgrade they have a simple choice to make: GPU or CPU. The main improvements this build has over the previous one are: swapping out the motherboard for a slightly dearer one gives better m.2 support - two slots vs one (meaning you get to have both a super fast NVMe boot drive and game drive), faster RAM support, and better overall build quality (VRM, Caps etc) as well as better cooling on those small components from which it is built: - all of which can help towards performance, whilst as a bonus it looks a lot better and has built in RGB lighting. Next up, we changed to a 512GB Nvme SSD which more than doubles the capacity and ramps up the read/write speed to be about 5 times+ that of a SATA SSD. A simple colour swap on the RAM heat-sinks means we get a better match up with our case and MB colours. We also doubled the storage hard-drive from 1TB to 2TB for even more storage. The PSU takes a massive jump in quality which is represented in its warranty, going from 5yrs to 10yrs, and we move from a 550w bronze unit to a full modular 650W gold efficiency one, which over the course of the 10yr warranty of the PSU will end up more than paying the difference in price between the two supplies. This PSU could be the cornerstone for a great PC build for the next decade if you wanted it to be. As for the case, we swapped out the black and in with the white as it better suits the white theme on the rest of the build. This PC is perfect for those who know they plan on getting a high end CPU/GPU, but still want a PC to use now while they save up those pennies.

What to expect:
Here at Ciaran's Customs we strive to squeeze the best value into your custom PC and this PC is the epitome of that. A much improved version of last the deal at this price point. Upgrading the SSD to a 512GB NVMe drive increases capacity and improves boot times, load times and everyday responsiveness as well as leaving plenty of room for your favourite games and paired with a 2TB storage HDD you won’t be running out of space any time soon. For the CPU we have the wonderful Ryzen 3600 which when it comes to non gaming tasks averages about 34% faster than a i5 9600K whilst only just being 1% behind in gaming, and when you consider costs £60+ less the amazing value really shines though. With the combination of the 6 core CPU, SSD and 16GB of super-fast RAM, this PC will make for some quick and smooth multitasking & everyday use, also very fitting for some creative/production workloads. As the name suggests this build is aimed at gamers who want to push into either 144Hz monitors or 1440p resolution or even both with the right settings and games. With this combination of high end parts be prepared to play any modern game on very high or maxed out settings with a high FPS if you are @1080p or if you have your eyes set on a 1440p monitor this should have enough power to keep you in the 60+FPS range on high quality settings. This PC is most defiantly future proof, with the combination of high end parts and room to expand meaning it could be the cornerstone to an evolving build that, with the right upgrades, could stay in the high end bracket for many years. With spare DIMM(RAM) slots and plenty of power over head, you will have no worries about upgrading when you decide the time is right.

What to expect:
This one is for those of you who want to push their games to the max, aimed at running games at max settings on 1440p whilst keeping a high FPS. Easily handling Quad HD and 4k ready, this PC will chew through any game you throw at it and spit out the best graphics you can get. This build is the perfect partner to a top end high refresh rate g-sync monitor, and will play so smooth it could nearly flow away. The blistering fast NVMe SSD runs close to 5 times as fast as a standard SATA SSD, so operating your PC will be a pleasure, and paired with a massive 1TB SSD for game storage means you don’t have to pick and choose what games get your favour and run off the SSD. For the CPU we have the wonderful Ryzen 3600X which improves upon its cheaper counterpart by upping the clock speeds and comes with a better cooler to help chill things out. With the combination of the 6 core CPU, SSD, and 16GB of super-fast RAM, this PC will make for some quick and smooth multi-tasking & everyday use, whilst also being very fitting for some creative/production workloads. With this combination of high end parts and the 2080 Super, which happens to out preform last years top dog - the 1080ti, be prepared to play any modern game on very high or maxed out settings with a high FPS even when playing @1440p, or if you have your eyes set on using that 4K big screen TV to play some games, this build should have enough power to keep you happy with how your games look and run. This PC is most defiantly future proof, and whilst you shouldn't feel the urge to upgrade any time soon, the large 750w PSU gives you plenty of power overhead, whilst the X570 motherboard supports PCIe 4.0 meaning it should be compatible with new graphics cards releases for years to come.
Each of these builds are flexible in their components which also means pricing, so for example, if you would like to get something in-between Deal#3&4 or already have some components left over from an old build, simply get in touch and we can discuss the best option for your build. Want a budget system but are not a fan of the C3 style case or do more than just game? Want a workstation that can also play the latest tiles? Get in touch to talk about your needs. Have limited space or want the PC to match a specific colour scheme? We build to suit you, so everything from the components inside, to the case housing them can be changed to suit how you want it to look and perform.
The free "Game Ready Service" has also been extended again this time indefinitely, meaning these builds will have it as standard. Typically, when you get a new PC you can't just turn it on and game, you have to download and install your games, configure settings, and wait for updates, never mind the fact that modern games can be upwards of 50GB in size, and on a slow internet connection this can mean hours if not days of downloading. With the "Game Ready Service" we will have everything ready to go as soon as you turn it on. We will also pick out our own personal favourite programs for monitoring your PC, as well as go beyond the standard checks, running benchmarks and further tests to ensure that the computer is running at an optimum level. Want a specific program ready? Just get in touch and ask.
