Gaming PCs Shipped to the United States
We build and ship gaming PCs to the United States from our workshop in Littlehampton, UK. Every PC is assembled to order using brand-new components, fully stress-tested before dispatch, and shipped via international tracked courier directly to your door — with all import duties and taxes paid upfront. No surprises.

How We Compare to US Gaming PC Brands
US customers often compare us to domestic brands like iBUYPOWER, CyberPowerPC, Origin PC, NZXT, and Maingear. Here's how we stack up on the things that matter most:
| We Build The Perfect PC | iBUYPOWER / CyberPowerPC | Origin PC / Maingear | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warranty | 3 years | 1 year | 1–3 years (varies) |
| Build process | Hand-built, one at a time | Production line | Hand-built |
| Stress tested before dispatch | Yes, every build | Varies | Yes |
| All-inclusive pricing (no customs bill) | Yes | N/A (domestic) | N/A (domestic) |
| Family-owned, personal service | Yes | No | No |
The 3-year warranty is particularly notable — most US pre-built brands cover you for just one year. Our warranty covers hardware defects with return shipping arranged and paid by us for verified faults.

Power Compatibility
The US uses 120V / 60Hz mains power; the UK uses 230V / 50Hz. All PSUs we use are rated 100–240V universal input — your PC will work on US power without a voltage converter. We include a US-compatible C13 power cable with every order shipped to the United States. A simple plug adapter is all you need if you wish to use a different cable.
3-Year Warranty — How It Works for US Customers
Our warranty covers manufacturing defects in all components for 3 years from the date of purchase. If something develops a hardware fault within the warranty period:
- Contact us by email — we respond to all US warranty enquiries within one business day
- We will diagnose the fault remotely where possible (most issues can be identified via photos or video)
- For confirmed hardware defects, we will either ship a replacement component to your US address or arrange a full refund, depending on the nature of the fault
- Warranty is non-transferable and covers the original purchaser only
- Accidental damage, unauthorised modifications, and overclocking are not covered

Do UK gaming PCs work in the USA?
Yes, fully. All components we use support 100–240V universal input, so they work on US power. We include a US-compatible power cable with every US order. Windows 11 is region-neutral and will work normally in the US.

Yes. Contact us with your requirements and budget and we will put together a custom quote. We can match or beat any competitor quote for an equivalent specification.
Can I use Klarna or buy now, pay later in the US?
Klarna is available to US customers at checkout. You can split your purchase into 4 interest-free payments. Shop Pay Installments and PayPal Pay Later are also available depending on your card and PayPal account settings.
What is your return policy for US customers?
We accept returns within 30 days of delivery for any reason. For US returns, you are responsible for international return shipping unless the item is faulty, in which case we will arrange and pay for collection. Contact us within 30 days and we will guide you through the process.
Do you offer a custom quote for a specific build?
Yes. If you have a specific component list or budget in mind that is not covered by our listed products, contact us and we will provide a custom quote within one working day. We can match or beat any US competitor quote on an equivalent spec.
Why Are UK-Built Gaming PCs Popular in the USA?
The US custom PC market is dominated by a handful of large brands. What UK builders like us offer is different: genuine hand-assembly, a longer warranty, and the kind of personal service that disappears when a company scales to thousands of builds per week. We know every PC we ship by name — it was built by one person, tested by one person, and packed by one person.
For US buyers, importing from the UK also means access to UK component pricing, which is often competitive against US retail once import costs are factored in — particularly on high-end GPU and CPU configurations where US retail margins can be significant.
We have shipped gaming PCs to customers across California, Texas, New York, Florida, Washington, and dozens of other states. The process is identical every time: build, test, pack, ship — door to door with full tracking and all customs cleared before the box leaves our workshop.
What to Expect When You Order
We want every US customer to know exactly what happens after they place an order. Here is the full timeline:
- Order confirmation: You receive an email immediately after checkout confirming your order and the components selected.
- Build begins: Your PC enters our build queue. Each PC is assembled individually — no production-line shortcuts.
- Stress testing: Once assembled, your PC runs a full stress-test suite: Prime95 for CPU stability, FurMark for GPU thermal performance, and a full Windows 11 boot and software check. This typically takes 4–6 hours of continuous testing.
- Packaging: Your PC is packed in a purpose-built double-walled box with foam GPU bracket support. Cable ties are used internally to prevent movement during freight.
- Dispatch and tracking: You receive a tracking number by email. Your PC ships from our UK workshop to your US address via DHL, FedEx, or UPS international express.
- Delivery: The courier delivers to your door. No customs payment required — everything is cleared before the box leaves the UK.
If you have any questions at any stage, email us directly at info@webuildtheperfectpcforyoultd.co.uk. We reply to all US enquiries within one working day (UK business hours, Monday–Friday).
