“Cheap” shouldn't mean cut corners — it should mean great value. Every budget Forge gaming PC uses the same brand-name components, the same 24-hour stress test, and the same 2-year warranty as our flagship builds. The difference is the spec, not the standard of work.

We achieve better value than high-street retailers by building to order, keeping overheads low, and refusing to charge for things you don't need — branded cardboard, “gaming” mousepads, or substandard OEM CPU coolers. Every pound you spend goes into parts that actually move the FPS counter.
The starting spec
Our entry-level 1080p gaming PC, fully configurable from the same page, lands at exactly this spec:
Inside the build
Every part is brand-named. No OEM stock coolers, no flat-front no-airflow cases, no single-channel RAM tricks.
Best-value GPUs in 2026
For 1080p gaming on a budget, the NVIDIA RTX 4060 and AMD RX 7600 represent the best price-to-performance in 2026. Both cards handle modern titles with ease at 1080p, support modern upscaling (DLSS / FSR) for free FPS, and run cool and quiet for low power bills.
Stretching to around £750–£850 unlocks the RTX 4060 Ti or RX 7700 XT, which open the door to comfortable 1440p gaming in most titles. We'll always recommend the GPU that genuinely matches your monitor and target framerate — not the most expensive one your budget allows.

IndicativeCustom vs pre-built
Pre-built budget PCs from large retailers are often built to a price by cutting in places you can't easily see. The headline price looks good. The actual machine doesn't.
High street pre-built
Specced to a price tag.
Custom Forge build
Specced to perform.
Paying for it
A £599 build splits into 3 interest-free payments of around £200 each via Klarna or Clearpay at checkout. No credit application, no hidden fees, no impact on your credit score for paying on time.

Common questions
Our entry-level custom gaming builds start from £599. At this price you get a current-generation CPU, an RTX 4060 or RX 7600 class GPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, an NVMe SSD, and the same 2-year warranty and 24-hour stress test as our premium builds.
Yes - provided it's specced correctly. A £600-£700 custom-built Forge PC will outperform many mass-market £800 pre-builts because every pound goes into the components that affect performance, not into a fancy box, RGB stickers, or low-quality bundled peripherals.
An entry-level build with an RTX 4060 or RX 7600 plays virtually every modern title at 1080p on high settings with smooth framerates. That includes Fortnite, Call of Duty, Cyberpunk 2077, Apex Legends, EA FC, GTA V, Marvel Rivals and Helldivers 2.
Absolutely. Every budget Forge build uses a current-gen socket (AM5 or LGA1700) and a power supply with enough headroom to take a faster GPU later. You can add more RAM, swap the GPU, or add storage as your budget allows.
Yes. We use reputable brand components at every price point - ASUS, MSI, Corsair, Samsung, NZXT - and run the same 24-hour stress test regardless of spec. Every build comes with a 2-year parts and labour warranty.
Yes. Klarna and Clearpay are both available at checkout, letting you split a £599 build into 3 interest-free payments of around £200 each. Standard card payments via Stripe are also accepted.
Yes. Every Forge PC build, including our cheapest configurations, ships with free insured tracked delivery to mainland Great Britain. Your PC is packaged with custom foam inserts and GPU support to prevent transit damage.
For the same real-world performance, a custom Forge PC is almost always cheaper than a comparable pre-built. We don't pay for warehouse stock, branded packaging, or bundled accessories you don't need - so more of your money goes into the parts that actually drive FPS.
