Step 1: Choose your Operating System option
Operating System
We install the latest version of Microsoft Windows 10/11 Professional Edition (RRP: $299) on your PC.
Step 2: Choose your Processor option
Processor (CPU)
Ryzen 5 5600G
6 Core 12 Thread 3.5GHz/4.4GHz Turbo + 7 Core 1.9GHz Radeon Vega 7 Graphics
Ryzen 7 5700G
8 Core 16 Thread 3.8GHz/4.6GHz Turbo + 8 Core 2GHz Radeon Vega 8 Graphics
The processor is the most important part of your PC. The higher the price, the faster the processor. We recommend getting the best processor your budget will allow. This will give you a faster PC which remains up-to-date for longer. We have selected two AMD CPUs as these have the best combination of performance, efficiency and value. The 5000 series Ryzens have very capable integrated graphics as well which is important in a mini PC where there is no space for a separate graphics card. Our base default processor is the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and it will easily handle general home & office functions such as web browsing& word processing etc. For heavier PC use and more resource-intensive programs, choose the Ryzen 7 5700G.
If you need higher processing power in a mini case contact us for a custom solution. Or if a tiny case is not such a necessity check out our Pro Desktop PC Builder for many more CPU and graphics options.
Desktop PC Processor Walk-Through
What is it?
The processor is the main processing chip of the computer. Think of it as the computer's brain. As you go up in price, the speed of the computer's 'thinking' increases (calculations per second).
What are my options?
There are two processor brands: AMD and Intel. Both are excellent. Each brand offers a range of processors on a sliding scale of performance & price.
Selecting a more powerful processor will mean that you will require a motherboard designed for that processor. This is reflected in the price difference, which accounts for both the processor & the motherboard made for it.
What do I get with the base model?
Our default option is an AMD A6 Dual Core. All you need to know is that this is already a very good processor for general home & office use, and that the options above it will cost more but will increase performance.
Why would I select a different option?
You would choose a different processor here if you intend to use the PC for more intensive purposes, such as processing graphics, gaming, music production or specialised industry programs. Usually, specialised programs recommend the ideal processor in their specifications. Alternatively - and this is our personal view - you may just want an extra fast & powerful PC that you will not need to upgrade for a very long time, one that you know will easily handle anything you may want to use it for in the future even if you're currently just word processing & browsing the web. We've been using our own PCs for years flawlessly because we built them around great processors.
Need help?
This first step of choosing a processor is commonly one that people have questions about, so feel free to call us or live chat with us about your needs. Our default selection does the job well for most general home & office PCs.
Step 3: Choose your Memory option
Memory (RAM)
16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM
32 GB DDR4-3200 RAM
16GB of memory will handle home & office functions, but the rule is simple: the more the better. Opting for extra RAM is an inexpensive change that will make a big difference. We find Kingston to be the best brand for RAM.
Desktop PC Memory Walk-Through
What is it?
Memory manages all the processes & tasks involved with using your PC. How many gigabytes (GB) of memory (or RAM) you need depends on the number & type of programs you are using. The more memory you have, the better your PC will be able handle multiple applications running at once, as well as any memory-hungry programs.
What are my options?
16GB, 32GB or 64GB. As the motherboards in these Mini PCs are smaller they only have 2 memory slots. Therefore, the max option is currently 64GB. This is more than enough RAM for 99.9% of people.
What do I get with the base model?
Although the 'more the better' rule applies, 16GB is our default and will comfortably run general functions such as those associated with Microsoft Office & web browsing.
Why would I select a different option?
Specialised programs often recommend more than 16GB, and some people just prefer plenty of 'head room' so they get more than 16GB. Opting for more RAM is something to consider, especially because the price difference is not that much.
Step 4: Choose your Storage option
NVMe (SSD)
Instead of a standard hard drive, choose a mega-fast Kingston NVMe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive (SSD) in capacities of 500GB, 1TB and 2TB. These are up to 50 times faster than a standard hard drive, giving you extremely fast loading of operating systems, software and games.
Choose an extremely fast Gen 4 NVMe M.2 SSD (These run up to 50 times faster than a standard HDD giving you instant loading of both Windows and Software) in capacities of 500GB, 1TB and 2TB.
Step 5: Choose your Case option
Case
All our Desktop PC's come with either a Cooler Master Elite 344 or Antec VSK3000E Tower Case. Choose between the piano black (Elite 344) or the smooth black metal finish ( VSK3000E). Our case designs are sleek, practical & fit stylishly into any home or professional environment. They also have a strong construction that is mostly metal.
Step 6: Choose your Screen option
Screen (Monitor)
LG 21.5" Full HD IPS LED
LED Back-lit LCD Monitor / Full HD (1920 x 1080) / 5ms Response Time / D-Sub / HDMI
LG 24" Full HD IPS LED
LED Back-lit LCD Monitor / Full HD (1920 x 1080) / 5ms Response Time / D-Sub / HDMI
LG 27" Full HD IPS LED
LED Back-lit LCD Monitor / Full HD (1920 x 1080) / 5ms Response Time / HDMI / D-Sub
Select a 21.5", 24" or 27" inch monitor option by LG. Each one is a full HD widescreen LED monitor featuring a HDMI connection for a superior HD experience. You can also order these screens in pairs which is something to consider if you are looking to be more productive. You can have different windows & programs open on different screens - emails one side, spreadsheet or internet browser another side etc.
Step 7: Choose your Speakers option
Speakers
We're keeping it simple and practical here. You have the option of a couple of great pairs of small USB-powered speakers. Choose from our classic black round speakers or Edifier's R12U speakers. Any choice will deliver clear sound for general use. Edifer: [180Hz ~ 20KHz Frequency Response / 2x2" Driver Size]
Step 8: Choose your Keyboard & Mouse option
Keyboard & Mouse
Step 9: Choose your Connectivity option
Connectivity
Microsoft HD 3000
720P HD, USB Powered
Bluetooth 5.0, USB Powered
Upgrade to Dual Band High Speed/High Gain AX WIFI 6
Choose what you need from these connectivity devices. If you need to connect wirelessly to your modem, all our Systems come with AC Dual Band Hi Gain WiFi included. However, if your router supports the highest WiFi 6 AX speed then you have the option to upgrade to the fastest AX WiFi 6 Dual Band High Speed/High Gain WiFi. The AX Dual Band WiFi 6 is over 3 times faster than the standard option. You will need to add a Bluetooth adapter if you connect your devices with Bluetooth. Our choice for an HD webcam is Microsoft, which also has a built-in microphone. You'll need this for Skype & video conferencing etc.
Step 10: Choose your Software option
Software Installed
Microsoft Office Professional 2021
Get the latest & most complete suite of Professional Edition Microsoft Office programs for the lowly RRP of the Home Edition. Includes everything you need: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, Access & more. Fully installed by us - ready to go. Perpetual (never-ending) licence.

It is critical to have strong internet security protection against viruses, trojans & hacker threats. We don't touch an internet browser without Kaspersky installed on our computers.

We offer two essential software programs on your PC - Microsoft Office Pro 2021 and Kaspersky Premium. If selected, these programs are provided at a heavily discounted price and fully installed by us. We include the genuine product keys on your tax invoice for your records.
