At ASA Computer Repairs, we’re happy to accommodate your computer-related needs. Our experts will work with you to customise your system to meet your specific needs.
We provide custom solutions because everyone has different needs for custom-built gaming computers. Whether you need a basic home system or a high-powered gaming rig, our experts can help you create it.
Pre-Built Vs Custom-Built Gaming Computer
A gaming PC is a personal computer customised with gaming characteristics in mind, such as a large screen and a fast processor. As the gaming industry has expanded, so has the need for powerful gaming computers. ASA Computer Repairs offers pre-built and custom gaming PCs since every gamer has specific needs.
On the other hand, a pre-built PC is a factory-built ready-to-use computer. Most of the components used in these computers are proprietary and designed for that specific model. There is less chance that this computer could be upgraded or repaired in future.
We build custom computers at our location right here in Canberra. All of the hardware in our custom-built gaming PCs is of the highest quality and designed to provide you with the best possible gaming experience in each genre. These computers can be customisable to meet the needs of gamers of varying expertise and budget levels by adding or replacing storage, Memory, and graphics cards. You will have our local warranty and customer service if you run into trouble while using it.
Our bespoke gaming PCs are built to last and can be upgraded in the future, which is great if you’re a forward-thinking gamer who values cutting-edge technology.
Essential Breakdown of a Gaming Rig
The Case: The aesthetically pleasing housing that houses all your PC components. Quality cases have channels for clean cable management and easy build. It also serves as an electrical ground for your components. Brands like Corsair, Deep Cool, Cooler Master, and Lian Li produce quality cases.
The Motherboard: Motherboards are the translators that allow all your components to communicate with each other. They also distribute power from the PSUs to the different components.
The CPU: CPU is the brain that processes all the tasks given to it by delegating them to various components for execution. There are two leading players in the manufacture of CPUs: Intel and AMD. Intel CPUs are a bit more pricier than AMD CPUs and last longer. AMD CPUs, on the other hand, are faster and relatively cheaper but may not last as long as Intel CPUs.
The RAM: Memory determines how many tasks can be processed efficiently simultaneously. RAM processes data from applications in use, acting as short-term memory. More memory means more simultaneous tasks that can be performed simultaneously. Most modern computers usually have 16GB or 32GB memory. A highly demanding gaming computer, on the other hand, can have 64GB of memory. DDR5 memory is the latest memory type, with frequency ranging between 5000Mhz to 6800Mhz. DDR4 Memory is one generation older, supporting speeds up to 3600Mhz. Higher frequency means higher speeds.
The SSD: The garage where you store your stuff. Solid State Drives are a fast and efficient way to access games, apps, files, and more on your gaming computer. 1TB is the standard SSD size these days. High-demand, space-hungry games may require a much bigger SSD. The quality of an SSD is more important than the size, as it determines the performance of a computer. Samsung, Crucial, Sandisk, SK Hynix and Kingston produce high-quality, high-performance SSDs.
The PSU: The engine that pulls, conditions, and sends power to your components. It converts the high-voltage AC power from your wall socket to manageable DC output and regulates it according to the power needs of your gaming PC. A power-hungry computer demands high-wattage PSUs ranging from 850W to 1200W. On the other hand, a regular home or office PC generally has 550W-650W PSU.
The Air Cooler: The air circulation unit that keeps your PC cool. It hovers out the heat generated by the computer components when it is under load.
The AIO Cooler: The highly efficient cooler that keeps your high-end, extreme heat-generating CPU running cool. It uses a preassembled pump and radiator combination to transfer the heat from your CPU to a liquid that is then moved to the radiator to be cooled.
The GPU: Graphic Cards are the turbochargers that tear your computer through heavy visual loads. They process all the visual data of a game or application. The higher the GPU memory, the smoother the graphics.
Wi-Fi: The communications relay allows you to access your home Wi-Fi network wirelessly. The Wi-Fi 6 adapters are faster than the older generation. Most gamers prefer an Ethernet connection over Wi-Fi because cable connections generally offer more speed and reliability.

Our Process
Step 1: Finalise Your Budget
First, set a budget and decide whether to use an AMD or Intel processor. The CPU is the gaming PC’s brain, controlling and organising the rest of the system’s functioning. Do your research to ensure you choose the right CPU. If you are a beginner or a mid-level gamer, a usual choice is Intel’s i5 CPU or AMD Ryzen 5 series CPU. A high-end gamer may require an Intel i7, i9, or AMD Ryzen 7 or 9 CPU.
Step 2: Choose Your Parts & Peripherals
The next step is to select hardware that meets your system’s performance needs while satisfying your aesthetic tastes. A gaming computer cannot perform without a quality motherboard, processor, graphics card, RAM, PSU, and hard drive. The optimal keyboard, mouse, and monitor selection may significantly improve your gaming experience. The right case is also important if you want your dream machine to look great.
Step 3: Go on with the Assembly Process
You should now be able to build a gaming computer from scratch. Please take your time and study the guidelines thoroughly; this is a tricky part. Verify that everything is in its proper place and that all connections are safe. Make sure to read through all the information and instructions that came with the components. One wrong connection can have a devastating effect and damage a single or multiple components of your computer. The screws should be tight enough; otherwise, it can compromise the life of your components and can cause mysterious issues.
Step 4: Installation of Software and Device Drivers
Once the hardware is assembled, install and load the operating system with appropriate applications and drivers. If you want your computer to function correctly, you must follow the instructions and install the necessary drivers.
Step 5: Test Vigorously
Once you’re ready to go, you should do a full test to ensure everything is working. Rigorous testing is as important as building a computer. Sometimes, a brand-new component has a manufacturing fault and can result in an unexpected PC shutdown. These faults are usually revealed during the testing phase. There are various online utilities available for stress testing. Download any of these and let it run for a couple of hours with a full load.
Step 6: Enjoy Your Rig!
Now that you have customised your gaming computer to your liking, it is time to start using it. You will have a unique and personalised experience, whether you utilise it for work, entertainment, or other purposes.

Why Buy Local?
Buying a custom-built computer locally instead of online has several advantages:
Personalized Consultation: Local shops like ours provide the chance to speak directly with knowledgeable staff who can help you choose the right components based on your specific needs and preferences. This personal touch can lead to a better understanding of what you’re really looking for.
Hands-On Experience: Visiting us locally allows you to actually see and touch the components. You can get a feel for the quality and size of the parts you’re considering, which can be especially important for cases, monitors, and peripherals.
Instant Gratification: When you buy locally, you often can take your computer home immediately. There’s no waiting for shipping, which can be a big advantage if you need a computer quickly.
Build and Setup Assistance: We offer to assemble the computer for you and provide initial setup support. This can save you time and ensure that everything is correctly installed and configured.
After-Sales Support: Having a local point of contact will make it easier to get help if you run into issues later. You can return to us for support anytime, whereas online purchases might lead you to lengthy phone calls or email exchanges.
Supporting the Local Economy: Buying from local shops helps support your community and can contribute to the local economy. It’s an investment in local jobs and businesses.
Customization Options: We offer more flexible customization options based on your budget and needs, letting you mix and match components in a way that might not be as straightforward online.
Consumer Trust: Sometimes, it’s easier to trust a local business where you can see and talk to the owners or employees, compared to an online retailer where you may be just another order number.
Depending on your preferences and circumstances, these factors can make the local shopping experience more beneficial than ordering online. If you have desktop computer requirements, reach out to us today to discuss your computing needs.
