AM4 Budget PC Builds
Made to order · estimated delivery about 12–27 days after you approve your parts list.
New to PC building? Chipsets, CPU names and WiFi explained. Start here →I'm Samuel, a gamer and builder with 7 years of experience. I focus on performance, compatibility, and reliability. Ships from El Paso, TX.
AM4 is a mature platform: great value, but it won't accept newer AMD CPUs later.
What you get
A made-to-order PC built around your budget, games, and goals. Every system includes:
- New, high-quality compatible parts (certified refurbished only if you request it)
- New parts covered by each part's manufacturer warranty
- 1-year labor warranty from me, on top of the manufacturer warranties
- Lifetime support from your builder (questions, troubleshooting and upgrade advice)
- Professional assembly and clean cable management
- 24-hour stress test (3DMark and MemTest64) and benchmarks (Unigine Heaven, 3DMark, and Cinebench for CPU all-core workloads) before it ships
- Ships with the latest BIOS installed
- No bloatware: a clean Windows install
- Windows 11 installed (activation optional) or no OS
- Careful packaging
- ARGB lighting or Stealth (no RGB): choose on this page (no extra cost).
- Free shipping in the lower 48 states (Alaska and Hawaii: $50 flat shipping)
Pricing
Each price is the starting total: parts plus build fee (includes free shipping in the lower 48).
- Office (built-in graphics, 1080p or 1440p): $640 parts + $350 build fee = $990
- Entry Level – 1080p: $1,000 parts + $425 build fee = $1,425
- Mid-Range – 1440p: $1,400 parts + $500 build fee = $1,900
White parts usually cost more (cases are often excluded). RAM and SSD prices are rising, so the final parts total can land above the starting number.
How ordering works
- Choose your tier, lighting and operating system on this page and include your case color, preferred parts, games, and resolution in the order notes (the “Special instructions” box in your cart).
- I send you a complete parts list and exact final total for approval. Nothing is bought until you approve.
- If your final total is higher, I send an invoice for the difference. If it's lower, I refund the difference. If you don't approve the parts list, your order is canceled and fully refunded.
- Then I order, assemble, stress test, and ship.
