The conversation began with a previous PC that was no longer a good base for the games Kirsti's son wanted to play. Kirsti and her son met Marcel to discuss the options. Several specifications were considered as component prices changed; the first February quotation was not the machine that was ultimately ordered.

Refining the specification instead of locking in an old quote
On 1 April, the family chose a newer AM5 gaming configuration with an RTX 5060 and integrated Wi-Fi. While placing the order, Marcel found supplier offers that allowed a move from the proposed Ryzen 5 7500F to a Ryzen 5 7600X, plus a motherboard and case improvement. The photo of the completed PC shows the PNY RTX 5060, a tower air cooler and blue-lit fans.
Handover and the first questions at home
Marcel reported the completed computer ready on 10 April; it was collected on 13 April. The team then helped the family connect its Wi-Fi antennas at home and answered a question about a sound under gaming load. This matters as much as the parts list: a custom build should arrive with someone available to explain the setup and the behavior of the finished machine.
What the customer said
In her public Google review, Kirsti praised Marcel's communication, the care put into the build and the effort to find the best specification within her budget. She said the finished PC looked good and ran well. Her review and the project messages agree on the central point: the budget shaped the component choices throughout.
This is a record of one April 2026 build, not a current fixed-price specification. For a new commission we check today's component prices, the games and display you use, and whether your setup needs Wi-Fi, extra storage or other changes. Read our custom PC guide or explore air-cooled PCs.
