If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your setup, there’s never been a better time to invest in a custom built PC. Whether you’re looking for a gaming powerhouse, a reliable business workstation, a creative editing machine, or a family computer tailored to everyday use, a custom build gives you greater flexibility, better value, and performance designed around your needs.
Modern processors, ultra-fast SSD storage and the latest graphics technology have made today’s computers more powerful than ever. Rather than paying for features you don’t need—or compromising on the parts that matter most—a custom built PC allows every pound of your budget to work harder.
At Bluesdigital, we build custom PCs right here in Newtown, Powys. Inspired by Mid Wales legends, our flagship systems include Twrch Trwyth (The Wild Boar), a ferocious high-performance machine built for speed and gaming, and Ych Brych (The Brindled Ox), a dependable workstation designed for reliability, productivity and long-term durability.
But while we’re proud of our flagship systems, our favourite builds are often the ones that start with a completely blank sheet of paper.
Beyond the Flagships: We Love a Blank Canvas
Nothing gets us more excited than sitting down with someone who has a specific idea in mind.
Perhaps you need a workstation for specialist software. Maybe you’re building a gaming setup you’ve dreamed about for years. Perhaps your household needs one machine capable of handling homework, photo editing, streaming and gaming without missing a beat.
Whatever your requirements, we enjoy designing a system around how you actually use your computer rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all solution.
Already Started Your Own Build? We’re Happy to Help
If you’ve already started building your own PC, that’s brilliant too.
Maybe you’ve picked out some components online and would like a second opinion. Perhaps you’re not sure if everything is compatible, wondering whether your power supply is up to the job, or trying to work out why a new graphics card isn’t behaving quite as expected.
Bring it in.
We’re always happy to offer practical advice, compatibility checks, upgrade suggestions and troubleshooting tips. Sometimes a ten-minute conversation can save hours of frustration—and even if you’re building it yourself, we’re genuinely pleased to help point you in the right direction.
After all, we’re computer enthusiasts too.
No Pressure: Let’s Just Get the Conversation Started
You don’t need to make a final decision before getting in touch. We’re happy to chat through the options and see where the conversation leads.
Sometimes a brand-new custom-built PC is the right answer.
Maybe a quality refurbished machine offers better value.
It could be your existing computer simply needs a little extra memory, a fast SSD, or a thoughtful upgrade to breathe new life into it.
Starting the conversation costs absolutely nothing, and we’ll always recommend the option that makes the most sense for your needs and budget—even if that means not buying a new PC.

The Advantages of Going Local in Mid Wales
Component Quality You Can Trust
We spend our days repairing and servicing computers, which means we’ve seen where manufacturers cut corners. By carefully selecting every component, we can build systems designed for longevity, reliability and future upgrades.
From quality power supplies and dependable motherboards to sensible cooling and tidy cable management, we build machines we’d happily use ourselves.

Real Local Support
If you ever need advice, upgrades, maintenance or repairs in the future, you can simply pop back into the shop and speak to someone face-to-face.
No call centres. No lengthy support tickets. No boxing up your computer and hoping the courier is having a good day.
Our goal is simple: to build a machine you keep because you love it, not one you replace because it failed.
Custom PC Building: Your Questions Answered
Thinking about taking the plunge but not sure where to start? Here are some of the most common questions we hear over the counter.
Is it cheaper to build a PC or buy a prebuilt one?
In many cases, a custom built PC offers better value because you’re paying for quality components throughout the system rather than a headline specification with compromises elsewhere.
Big-brand systems often save money on power supplies, cooling, motherboards or memory. A custom build allows every part of your budget to go towards performance and reliability.
Can I bring you a list of parts I found online?
Absolutely.
In fact, we love it.
If you’ve been experimenting with PCPartPicker or researching components online, bring your list along. We’ll happily check compatibility, ensure everything works together properly and suggest improvements where appropriate.
How do I know what specification I need?
That’s exactly what we’re here for.
Simply tell us what you use your computer for and your approximate budget.
- Gaming: We’ll prioritise graphics performance and processing power.
- Business and creative work: We’ll focus on memory, storage speed and multitasking capability.
- Everyday family use: We’ll balance reliability, performance and value.
What happens if something goes wrong?
Because we build and support the systems ourselves, you can bring the machine back to us for diagnosis, warranty assistance and advice.
We’ll help identify the issue and guide you through the next steps without the usual runaround.
Can I upgrade the PC later?
Yes.
Our systems use standard components designed with future upgrades in mind. Whether you want a larger SSD, more memory or a new graphics card in a few years’ time, upgrading is straightforward.
What if I’m working with a limited budget?
That’s not a problem.
A new custom build isn’t always the right answer. We can discuss quality refurbished systems, upgrades to existing machines or specifications designed around your budget.
The important thing is finding the right solution for you.
