Custom built computer systems are the best way to get exactly the kind of computer you need. By customising your purchase, you can get the very best system within your budget that offers all of the features that you expect.

If you're after a system for gaming, which is CTCs most specialised area of computing, a custom build is the best way to get the most performance for the money that you want to spend. You'll receive a PC that is not only great value overall, it's the system that will give you the highest possible frame rate within your budget.

If you'd like to use some of your old parts from a system you already have, that's not a problem. Usually, the hard drive, optical drive (DVD / Blu-Ray), power supply and tower case are all sufficient components for someone working on a budget and this may decrease the price of your system by even a few hundred dollars.

If you see a system from another vendor, we guarantee we can beat the price and often offer much better parts instead.

If you see a vendor selling systems which appear to be very high-spec but at a low price, chances are the system is not very high end at all and instead has one or two components which you recognise as being premium parts. In short, a system with a Core i7 processor but a HD 5450 graphics card is not for gaming, for a more detailed explanation, please read the 'Part Information' page accessible from the navigation bar or the side bar of this page.
