Custom PC Builds

Custom Gaming & Workstation PCs in the New River Valley

Local, hand-built PCs for gaming, streaming, video editing, engineering, and AI work — spec'd around your actual budget and use case, not a marketing sheet.

Serving Christiansburg, Blacksburg, Radford & the New River Valley

A pre-built from a big-box store cuts corners you don't see until year two — cheap PSU, slow RAM, no thermal headroom. We build every Aura Tech PC in Christiansburg by hand: quality parts, clean cable management, real airflow, and BIOS/Windows tuned so it runs like it should.

Whether you're a Virginia Tech student who wants to play Valorant at 240Hz, a streamer who needs headroom for OBS, a video editor cutting 4K, or an engineering student running SolidWorks — we'll recommend a build that matches the workload, not one that maxes out your card and starves everything else.

Frequently asked

Can I bring my own parts?

Absolutely. We'll build, cable manage, install Windows, tune BIOS, and stress test a customer-supplied parts list for a flat labor fee.

How long does a custom build take?

Usually 5–10 business days from spec approval to pickup, depending on parts availability.

Do you offer financing?

We accept most major cards and can point you to reputable third-party financing for larger builds.

What if a part fails after I take it home?

Our 1-year build warranty covers labor to diagnose and swap failed parts. The part itself is covered under the manufacturer's warranty (usually 2–3 years for major components).

Can you upgrade my existing PC instead?

Yes — GPU upgrades, adding RAM/storage, better cooling, PSU swaps. We'll tell you when an upgrade is worth it vs. building fresh.

Do you build AI/ML workstations?

Yes. We build local-LLM and CUDA workstations spec'd around VRAM, PCIe lanes, and cooling for sustained loads.
