Prebuilt Gaming PCs

Every prebuilt gaming PC at BundleRigs is built, tested and dispatched in 2–3 working days, ships free with tracked Parcelforce delivery across the UK and comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty. Prices start at £189.

What is a prebuilt gaming PC?

A prebuilt gaming PC is a desktop computer that arrives fully assembled and ready to play. Instead of buying a graphics card, processor, motherboard, memory, storage, power supply and case separately and putting them together yourself, you choose one finished machine and plug it in.

The parts in a prebuilt gaming PC are picked to work together, so there are no compatibility worries, no searching for the right cables and no evening lost to building and troubleshooting. If something goes wrong, one warranty covers the whole PC rather than a pile of separate part warranties with different manufacturers.

Prebuilt gaming PC or build your own?

Building your own PC can be rewarding, but it isn’t for everyone. Here’s how the two compare:

• Time. A prebuilt gaming PC is ready to use on the day it arrives. A self-build means researching parts, waiting for several deliveries and spending hours assembling and installing software.
• Risk. If a self-built PC won’t start, you have to work out which part is at fault. With a prebuilt gaming PC we’ve already tested the system before it leaves us.
• Warranty. Our prebuilt PCs have a single 3-year parts and labour warranty. With a self-build, each part is covered separately and you handle the returns.
• Cost. Building can sometimes save a little money if you already own some parts, but once you add an operating system, cables and your own time, a prebuilt gaming PC is often very close in price.

For most people – especially first-time buyers, parents and anyone who would rather spend their evenings playing than building – a prebuilt gaming PC is the simpler choice.

Built, tested and dispatched in 2–3 working days

Every prebuilt gaming PC we sell is built, tested and dispatched in 2–3 working days. It then travels free with tracked Parcelforce delivery: 2 working days after dispatch on the UK mainland, or 3–5 working days to the Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland. If you need it sooner, next working day delivery is £14.99.

Choosing a prebuilt gaming PC by budget

Our range covers every budget, from a first PC for Minecraft to a flagship machine for high-refresh gaming. Here’s what each price bracket looks like today.

Under £600: entry-level prebuilt gaming PCs

The budget gaming PCs start with the Entry Level Gaming PC at £189 (was £215) and the Starter Gaming PC at £240 (was £275). Above those sit the Carbon, Bedrock Fluorite, Skyline, Vector, Racing Sim, Bedrock Garnet, Apache, GeForce and Bedrock Zircon. At the top of this bracket, the Raptor Gaming PC (£595) adds NVIDIA RTX graphics with ray tracing and DLSS support.

An entry-level prebuilt gaming PC is ideal for Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, Rocket League and Valorant at 1080p, and it handles homework, streaming video and Discord alongside gaming.

£600 to £1,000: the mid-range sweet spot

Spending a little more buys much faster graphics. This bracket includes the Hexacore Gaming PC (£645, was £680), the Bedrock Malachite (£735), the Spectre and Tuff gaming PCs (£875 each) and the RTX Gaming PC (£990, was £1,000). A mid-range prebuilt gaming PC is the sweet spot for bigger AAA games at 1080p with higher settings.

£1,000 to £1,500: high frame rates

Here you’re paying for smoother gameplay on high-refresh monitors and newer platforms. Options include the Bedrock Opal (£1,095), the Ultra and Beam gaming PCs (£1,175 each), and the Orion and Titan gaming PCs (£1,375 each).

£1,500 and above: flagship builds

At the top of the range are our most powerful machines: the Elite Gaming PC (£1,575, was £1,600), the Bedrock Topaz (£1,600), the Saturn (£1,650), the Prism (£1,700), the Tethys (£2,075, was £2,150), the Redline (£2,150), the Bedrock Pyrite (£2,650, was £2,850), the Hyperion (£3,250) and the Bedrock Amethyst (£4,400). These suit high-refresh gaming, ray tracing in supported titles, and streaming or content creation alongside play.

Which graphics card should your prebuilt gaming PC have?

The graphics card (GPU) does most of the work in games, so it’s the most important part to compare. You’ll find three broad families across our range:

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX cards, which still deliver strong 1080p frame rates in popular games.
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX cards, which add ray tracing for more realistic lighting and DLSS, NVIDIA’s AI upscaling that raises frame rates in supported games. Sixteen of our PCs are in the RTX gaming PCs category.
• AMD Radeon graphics, which offer strong value for high-refresh gaming.

NVIDIA’s GeForce graphics cards guide explains ray tracing and DLSS in more depth. As a rule of thumb, match the card to your monitor: a mid-range card suits 1080p, an upper mid-range card suits 1440p, and a high-end card suits 4K.

Processor, memory and storage

A good prebuilt gaming PC is balanced, so no single part holds the others back. Once you’ve chosen a graphics card, check these three things:

Processor (CPU)

Many of our gaming PCs use AMD Ryzen processors. Six cores is a comfortable baseline for modern games, while eight-core chips such as the Ryzen 7 leave extra headroom for streaming, recording and running lots of apps at once.

Memory (RAM)

16GB of memory is the sensible minimum for gaming today. It leaves room for the game plus Discord, a browser and music in the background. Newer platforms use faster DDR5 memory.

Storage

An SSD keeps Windows and your games loading quickly. M.2 NVMe drives are the fastest kind. Some budget machines pair an SSD with a larger hard drive, which gives plenty of space for a big game library and files.

Our prebuilt gaming PC ranges

• Bedrock range – eight PCs named after minerals, from the Bedrock Fluorite at £295 to the Bedrock Amethyst at £4,400.
• Exo range – the Tuff, Saturn, Tethys and Hyperion gaming PCs, from £875 to £3,250.
• RTX gaming PCs – sixteen machines with NVIDIA RTX graphics.
• Individual builds – the Entry Level, Starter, Carbon, Skyline, Vector, Racing Sim, Apache, GeForce, Raptor, Hexacore, Spectre, Ultra, Beam, Orion, Titan, Elite, Prism and Redline, each aimed at a particular budget.

Every product page lists the full specification and the kind of games the PC suits, so you can compare like for like.

Do you need a monitor and peripherals too?

A tower on its own is the best value if you already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and headset. If you’re starting from scratch, a gaming PC bundle adds a matched monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset and mousepad in one order – from the £550 Budget bundle to the £1,950 Extreme bundle with a 27-inch 240Hz curved monitor.

You can also add a monitor or peripherals from our gaming PC accessories range. Accessories ordered with a prebuilt gaming PC ship free in the same delivery.

What can a prebuilt gaming PC play?

• Entry-level PCs handle the big free-to-play games – Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, Rocket League and Valorant – at 1080p.
• Mid-range PCs step up to AAA games such as Call of Duty, Forza Horizon and Baldur’s Gate 3 at 1080p with higher settings.
• High-end PCs add high frame rates on 165Hz and 240Hz monitors, ray tracing in supported games, and headroom for streaming.

If you have a particular game in mind, email sales@bundlerigs.co.uk and tell us what you play – we’ll point you to the right prebuilt gaming PC.

How to compare two prebuilt gaming PCs

When two machines look similar, compare them in this order:

• Graphics card first – it makes the biggest difference to frame rates and visual quality.
• Processor second – check the number of cores and the generation.
• Memory – 16GB minimum; DDR5 on newer platforms.
• Storage – an NVMe SSD for the operating system and games, ideally 1TB or more if you play several large titles.
• Price per frame – sometimes a slightly cheaper PC with the same graphics card is the better buy.

If you’re still torn, email us the two product names and what you play. We’ll tell you honestly which suits you better.

Streaming and content creation

If you want to stream to Twitch or YouTube, record gameplay or edit videos, look for more processor cores and plenty of memory. An eight-core processor and 32GB of memory make multitasking much smoother, and NVIDIA RTX cards include a hardware encoder that takes the load of streaming off the processor.

Our 1080p and 4K streaming bundles, in the accessories range, pair a webcam with a USB microphone, so you can go live as soon as your new prebuilt gaming PC is set up. They ship free when ordered with any PC.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Overspending on the processor and underspending on graphics. For gaming, the graphics card matters more.
• Pairing a fast PC with a slow monitor. A 60Hz screen hides much of what a powerful graphics card can do.
• Too little storage. Modern games can each take up a large share of a small SSD; leave room to grow.
• Forgetting the extras. If you don’t already own a keyboard, mouse and headset, a bundle often works out simpler than buying them separately.
• Buying more PC than you need. If your favourite games are Fortnite and Minecraft, an entry-level machine will serve you well, and the money saved can go on a better monitor.

Avoid these and almost any prebuilt gaming PC in our range will give you years of smooth, reliable gaming.

Buying a first prebuilt gaming PC for a child

Many parents buy a first prebuilt gaming PC from us. The key questions are which games your child plays, how much desk space you have, and whether you also need a screen and peripherals.

For Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox and Rocket League, an entry-level PC under £600 is plenty. If you need everything in one go, the Budget Gaming PC Bundle (£550) was put together for younger and first-time gamers and includes a 22-inch Full HD 100Hz monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset and mousepad. Set up a Microsoft family account on day one to manage screen time and purchases.

Gaming PC or workstation?

A gaming PC is built around a powerful graphics card for smooth, detailed games. A workstation or office PC puts the emphasis on reliable everyday performance for documents, spreadsheets, browsing and video calls, and usually costs less.

If your main use is work or study with only light gaming, our workstation and refurbished office PCs – from the HP Prodesk 400 at £145 to the Graphite Workstation at £1,250 – may suit you better. If gaming is the priority, a prebuilt gaming PC is the right choice.

Gaming PC jargon, explained

• Ray tracing – a lighting technique that makes reflections, shadows and lighting look more realistic in supported games.
• DLSS – NVIDIA’s AI upscaling on RTX cards, which renders at a lower resolution and sharpens the image to raise frame rates.
• FPS – frames per second, how many images the PC produces each second.
• Refresh rate (Hz) – how many times per second a monitor redraws the picture. Ideally your FPS matches or beats it.
• NVMe SSD – the fastest type of storage, for quick loading.
• DDR5 – the newest generation of desktop memory.

Setting up your prebuilt gaming PC

Getting started takes a few minutes. These steps help you get the best from day one:

• Plug the monitor into the graphics card. Use the HDMI or DisplayPort sockets on the graphics card (usually lower down on the back of the PC), not the ones on the motherboard, or games won’t use the graphics card.
• Set the refresh rate. In Windows display settings, choose the highest refresh rate your monitor supports – it doesn’t always happen automatically.
• Run updates. Let Windows Update and your graphics driver update finish before you install lots of games.
• Install your launchers. Add Steam, the Epic Games Store, Battle.net or whichever stores you use, and sign in to download your library.
• Set up parental controls if needed. A Microsoft family account lets you set screen-time limits and approve purchases.

Looking after your gaming PC

A prebuilt gaming PC runs best when it’s kept clean and cool. Give it space so air can flow through the vents, avoid closed cupboards, dust the case every few months and keep Windows and your drivers up to date. A surge-protected extension lead is a sensible extra for the PC and monitor.

If you notice unusual noise, crashes or overheating, email sales@bundlerigs.co.uk with your order number and we’ll help.

Prebuilt gaming PC FAQ

Are prebuilt gaming PCs worth it?

For most people, yes. A prebuilt gaming PC saves time, removes the risk of incompatible parts and comes with one warranty for the whole machine. Once you count the cost of Windows and your own time, building yourself rarely saves much.

Which prebuilt gaming PC is best for Fortnite?

Any of our entry-level PCs will run Fortnite well at 1080p. If you want high frame rates for competitive play, step up to an RTX machine such as the Raptor (£595) or a mid-range PC.

Can I get a prebuilt gaming PC with a monitor?

Yes – choose one of our gaming PC bundles, which include a monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset and mousepad. Or add a monitor from our accessories range to any tower; it ships free with the PC.

How long does delivery take?

PCs are built, tested and dispatched in 2–3 working days, then delivered in 2 working days on the UK mainland, or 3–5 working days to the Highlands, Islands and Northern Ireland.

What warranty comes with a prebuilt gaming PC?

Every gaming PC has a 3-year parts and labour warranty. To claim, email sales@bundlerigs.co.uk with your order number and a description of the fault.

Can I return a prebuilt gaming PC?

Yes. You have 14 days to cancel from the day of delivery, then another 14 days to send it back. We refund within 14 days of receiving it, including the original standard delivery cost. Return postage is paid by you unless the PC is faulty.
