What to expect:

A big improvement from the last deal of the same name as we have included a 240GB SSD for your Operating System and still managed to get the price lower. Using 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 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 for prices to return to normal before getting your GPU. Don't be expecting to run the latest and greatest games on ultra settings, but if you're happy lowering a few settings, 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 would handle: - games like Fortnite Rocket League, Dota 2, 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 3000MHz DDR4 RAM and B450 AM4 motherboard that is capable of overclocking the 2400G 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 550w PSU you have no worry about power constraints. Unsure of the Ryzen 2400G gaming performance? Check out this review by Tom's Hardware to get an idea of how it holds up. 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:

A much improved alternative to Deal#2 and the perfect addition to the living room or study, this build ups the cost to afford a much better CPU the wonderful Ryzen 5 2600, as well as a dedicated GPU: the RX 570. This build ups the ante when it comes to performance the Ryzen 2600 brings 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 570 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 570 is a great entry GPU that can give impressive performance at 1080p. Modern gaming on a budget, playing all current games on full HD, 1080p 60Hz, including the ever popular Fortnite. Some compromises on graphics settings on the most recent titles, 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, add in space for two M.2 NVMe SSDs and free spaces for RAM means this PC could very well go from a great value budget build to high end battle-station in a few simple steps.

What to expect:

Here at Ciaran's Customs we strive to squeeze the best value into your custom PC and this PC is no different. Again a much improved version of last months deal, not only is the PC better but this build also includes a 24” 1080p 75Hz Freesync Gaming Monitor. and a LED Keyboard and mouse bundle, all for the same fantastic price.  Upgrading the SSD to a impressive 480GB capacity improves boot times and everyday responsiveness as well as leaving plenty of room for a few games. We also managed to upgrade the CPU to the Ryzen 2600 Gen 2, while still keeping it under €1000, this PC gets better and better. PUBG and its more colourful and somewhat friendlier brother Fortnite have taken the world by storm, so much so that big franchises like Call of Duty and Battlefield have jumped on the battle royal bandwagon, even more reason to get a powerful PC to play them all on. With the combination of the 6 core CPU, SSD and 8GB of super-fast RAM, this PC will make for some quick and smooth multitasking & everyday use, even fitting for some creative workloads. When it comes to 1080p gaming this PC will handle any title you throw at it on high+ settings, and would even be suitable to pair with a high refresh rate monitor, and its a good job too as this deal comes bundled with a 75Hz Freesync gaming monitor so your games will feel and play even better. Based on the AM4 platform, 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.

Just making sure this part is clear this is not only the PC tower but also peripherals. It s EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET GAMING, including games!!!! And with our Game Ready Service they will be ready to play out of the box.

Custom Built with you in mind.

 

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#4&5 or already have some components left over from an old build, simply get in touch and we can discus 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 for spring time, 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.
