Respawn PCs

Built-to-order gaming PCs assembled in the UK

Respawn PCs is a small British company dedicated to assembling gaming computers to order. Its catalogue is organised into three performance tiers —Entry, Mid Range and High End— and every unit is described as built fresh for the individual buyer rather than drawn from pre-assembled stock. The company states that it sources components through UK suppliers and applies quality control to each build.

The stated aim is to simplify a purchase the company considers unnecessarily complicated, presenting configurations and prices transparently before checkout. The site describes the operation as run by people who build the machines themselves.

Three starting tiers and their specifications

The catalogue lists three reference builds, each identified by a Respawn level and a model name, with the option to configure compatible upgrades afterwards.

• Level One Pulse AMD: presented as an affordable 1080p option, with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor, an XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Radeon RX 7600 graphics card, 16GB of Netac DDR4 3200MHz memory and Acer FA100 NVMe M.2 storage. Listed from £949.99, or from £316.66 per month under the finance option shown.
• Level Two Vortex AMD: aimed at high-refresh 1440p gaming with capable 4K performance and premium cooling in a panoramic chassis. It carries an AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 WINDFORCE OC 12GB, 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4-3200 memory in two 16GB modules and a Crucial P310 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Listed from £1,769.99, or from £590.00 per month.
• Level Three Apex AMD: positioned for elite high-refresh 1440p and powerful 4K gaming with AMD 3D V-Cache. It uses an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, a PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB, 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 in two 16GB modules and a Crucial P310 2TB NVMe drive. Listed from £2,399.99, or from £800.00 per month.

These prices and configurations reflect what the site showed at the time of writing this profile.

How the customisation process works

The buyer selects a starting PC, then opens the customiser to add compatible parts. The options listed cover case, RAM, SSD, GPU, cooling, fans, Wi-Fi, storage, monitors, accessories and extras, although availability varies by base machine. The configured price updates before the item enters the basket, and the company then builds, tests and ships the finished system.

Beyond the preconfigured tiers, Respawn PCs offers a bespoke specification service: the customer supplies a budget, the games played, the monitor used and a stylistic preference, and the team proposes a build.

Testing, benchmarks and warranty

Each machine is described as stress-tested, benchmarked and checked before leaving the workshop. Supported builds include an FPS benchmark section on their product pages, reporting average FPS and 1% low results for a defined game list: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, DOOM Eternal, Minecraft Java and Grand Theft Auto V. The company notes that these figures are guidance and can shift with game updates, drivers, maps, online conditions and the final configuration. Separate performance guides are published for Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex Legends and Fortnite.

A three-year warranty is offered as standard, alongside lifetime support, free UK delivery described as fast and fully insured, finance options and a 30-day returns window.

Components, peripherals and limited drops

The builds draw on recognised hardware brands spanning processors, graphics cards, memory, storage, cooling and cases; the site notes that brand names identify components only and do not imply endorsement or affiliation. A peripherals line complements the PCs, with mechanical and gaming keyboards, gaming mice, headsets and monitors.

Respawn PCs also runs Build Drops, occasional limited machines built for its video content. A codeword released in that content lets viewers reserve a unit through a temporary checkout reservation, with one successful buyer per drop.

The team and its public activity

The company presents itself as a small outfit. Harri appears as founder responsible for marketing and growth; Pj combines PC building with social media; and Kai builds systems and checks component balance. The workshop publishes build videos, behind-the-scenes material and setup guides, with several of those sections marked as coming soon at the time of writing.

Checkout runs through Klarna, Google Pay and Stripe, and the site states that payments are encrypted.
