Stop Lagging. Start Dominating. Build the Ultimate Gaming Rig.
You’ve watched the benchmarks, you’ve seen the streamers with their silky-smooth frame rates, and you know your off-the-shelf PC just isn’t cutting it. Pre-built systems from big box stores often use cheap, mismatched components that lead to thermal throttling and poor performance. To get the ultimate gaming experience, you need a machine built for one purpose: to play games at their absolute best. You need a custom-built gaming PC.
Our Expert Solution: Your Partner in PC Building
Building a PC can be daunting. Component compatibility, cable management, and proper cooling are complex. That’s where PC Repair Center comes in. At our Oceanside and Encinitas locations, we are more than just repair technicians—we are passionate PC gaming enthusiasts. We offer a personalized, custom PC building service that guides you from part selection to a professionally assembled and stress-tested masterpiece.
A Deep Dive into Custom Gaming PCs
We help you navigate the most important choices to match your goals and budget.
- The CPU (Processor): The “brain” of your PC. We’ll help you choose between the latest from Intel (like the Core i5/i7) and AMD (like the Ryzen 5/7) to find the perfect balance of price and performance for gaming.
- The GPU (Graphics Card): The single most important component for gaming. We’ll help you select the right NVIDIA GeForce (RTX series) or AMD Radeon card to hit your target resolution (1080p, 1440p, or 4K) and frame rate.
- RAM (Memory): We’ll recommend the right amount and speed of DDR4 or DDR5 RAM for seamless multitasking and gaming (16GB is the sweet spot, 32GB for high-end builds).
- Storage (SSD): An NVMe M.2 SSD is non-negotiable for lightning-fast game load times. We’ll help you pick the right size for your OS and game library.
- Cooling, Case, and Power: We don’t neglect the fundamentals. We’ll ensure your PC has a high-quality power supply (PSU), excellent airflow with a stylish case, and proper CPU cooling (air or liquid) to prevent thermal throttling.
Our Collaborative 5-Step Build Process
- Free Consultation: Sit down with one of our builders in Oceanside or Encinitas. We’ll discuss what games you play, your performance goals (e.g., “144fps in Warzone at 1440p”), and your total budget.
- Component Selection: We’ll create a customized parts list for you using a tool like PCPartPicker. You can purchase the parts yourself, or we can source them for you. We provide honest advice on where to spend your money and where you can save.
- Professional Assembly: This is where our expertise shines. We meticulously assemble your PC, focusing on flawless cable management for optimal airflow and aesthetics.
- System Setup & Stress Testing: We install Windows, all the necessary drivers, and then put your new PC through a rigorous series of benchmark and stability tests to ensure every component is running at peak performance under load.
- Hand-off and Warranty: You pick up your beautiful new machine, ready to plug in and play. Our labor is guaranteed, and we help facilitate any manufacturer warranties on individual parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to build a custom PC than to buy a pre-built one?
Often, yes. While our assembly fee is a factor, you save money because we help you select components that offer the best price-to-performance ratio. You’re not paying for the marketing overhead of a big brand, and you’re guaranteed to get high-quality, non-proprietary parts (like the power supply and motherboard) that pre-built companies often skimp on.
How long does the build process take?
Once all the parts have arrived at our shop, our professional assembly, setup, and stress-testing process typically takes 1-2 business days. We are meticulous and never rush a build.
