At Surrey computers we pride ourselves in building custom gaming computers. For the most demanding gamers we can build a machine to achieve your desired specifications. Whether you are interested in the more competitive side of game or you prefer a more casual experience. We can find the perfect battlestation for you.
Why buy a custom gaming machine?
PCs and consoles may be closer than ever, after all the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are basically just gaming PCs, however there are still huge differences. PC gaming is all about personal choice. This is shown by the choice of input devices, hardware, storefronts, and even user-created content.
Consoles don’t offer the same hardware choice, which is both a strength and a weakness. Everyone gets the same box for the same price. This means that game developers can optimise for specific hardware, but it also means that everyone has to use the lowest-common-denominator hardware. The Xbox 360 was released in 2005, and people were still using that same hardware in 2013. 2016 PC gamers saw huge increases in hardware power and graphics over those eleven years.
Graphics
You can play many PC games on low settings on just about any computer being released today. What will really hold you back, in most cases, is the graphics card. To play PC games well, you’ll want to get dedicated NVIDIA or AMD graphics hardware instead of integrated Intel graphics. Other components, like CPU and RAM, are also important.
It does not matter if you’re building a modest gaming rig or a titan 4K gaming rig it’s the graphics card that’s the heart of your life.
Choosing the right card is paramount for your gaming experience.
With the advent of the new NVIDA 1000 series and the AMD Radion RX 480 8GB cards the choice has never been better.
We supply and fit from the modest to the monster just ask and we will advise.
Cooling
At modest prices Hydro Series H110i GTX is an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler with a 280mm radiator and dual SP140L PWM fans for cooling that’s far superior to stock CPU air coolers. Liquid cooling works better than air cooling, and the self-contained design of the H110i GTX gets you up and running quickly so you can spend more time enjoying the performance of your overclocked processor and less time assembling, filling, and maintaining your cooling system.
The H110i GTX has Corsair Link software control built in. Just attach the included cable to a USB header on your motherboard and download the software from Corsair.com, then customize and monitor your temps, fan and pump speeds, and even the RGB LED logo on the cold plate.

What can I say..... Mark and Eric and the team are running an EXCEPTIONAL business here. Anything PC/Mac/iMac/phone - they can help. I’ve been to Apple stores and these guys are as knowledgeable if not more so and more importantly not robotic - they’re human. You know how sometimes you find a local garage you can just trust with your gut feeling for your car - it’s the same for anything computer related here. No mucking about, fast, fair, honest and they get the job done. I’d driven past this shop hundreds of times and thought how does a place like that stay in business - now I know. Originally I was going to drive to Kingston to ismash to get my screen (I’m sure they’re fine) but thought, I’ll just pop in and ask, and I’m glad I did. Only a few hours later. My MacBook Pro screen replaced. An old MacBook Air screen replaced and cleaned up. A great deal on an iMac which I’d been hunting down for months. Absolutely brilliant - go here first. None of this ‘book an appointment’ or ‘it’ll take three weeks’ etc. The best bit - I saved over £500 vs ebay! And vs Apple... probably a mortgage. Customer service at its finest here. A hidden gem. Cheers, Adam :-)
