1. Component Costs
The foundation of every custom build is the hardware. The total cost of your PC will primarily depend on the components you select.

All parts are sourced from trusted retailers, and you’ll receive an itemized breakdown of the cost.

5. Warranty and Support
While all components include their manufacturer warranties, I offer a 30-day build warranty to address any assembly-related issues. During this period, I’ll resolve any problems related to the assembly free of charge.
After the 30-day period, I offer continued support for any build-related issues at a fixed service fee of $64 per session. This ensures you still have access to reliable help even after the initial support window.
