Custom Gaming Build Omen X Cube

The guys at Direct Computers were great! I had no clue what I needed, but I gave them a budget (and an old gaming case) and explained what I would be using my pc for. They then gave me a list of different specs and prices that I could choose from. There was no up selling or trying to get me to spend more, in fact it was the opposite. They gave me a build that was under my available budget and with better specs than I thought I would have been able to get (manufacturers must put a huge mark up on their builds).

The turn around from placing my order and the pc being ready was quick and exactly when they said it would be ready.

I know my case made it a difficult and fiddly job for them, but they managed to get everything in as well as all the ports and lights working.

Really good company with lots of easy and hassle free communication. They have a really good personal approach, and I didn't feel like just a number to them. I will definitely be using them for all my IT purchases in the future.

Thanks everyone 😁

He was honest and straight foreward, with no bull on the initial assesment. Also, last but not least, the price was right.

Great First Impression, Easy 5 Stars

First time ordering from Direct Computers and I feel that throughout the whole process, I was always put first.

I dealt with Josh and he was brilliant from start to finish. I made quite a few amendments to the order and Josh was more than happy to accommodate them.

System arrived when expected and it definitely looks the part.

I've used various gaming PC companies through the years but can honestly say that Direct Computers have been the best and always put the customer first.

Thanks for everything Direct Computers and Josh in particular.

Upgrading my PC to Win11

Recently contacted Direct Computers to request advice about customising my PC to enable me to upgared it from Win10 to Win11. Excellent service from all who assisted....from the lady who first took my call (very welcoming and helpful) through to Josh who provided advice, arranged for the upgrade and took the PC from me (I live near them), and on to the specialist who talked me through the final stages of the upgrade. Initially phoned them at 11.30am and collected the upgraded PC at 4.30pm. First class! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you to all.

Pc bundle

Searched for weeks after finally agreeing to my 14 yr old daughter having a gaming pc. I honestly didn't know anything about them.
Via email got information from Joshua and gave him details of what we needed and he recommended a bundle that would meet needs of study first and gaming if required on a beginner level. Bundle is great and I would definitely recommend Directcomputers

Brilliant Company

What can I say

From the first initial contact to the last of picking up our custom made PC was brilliant. Joshua was fantastic with everything. They listened to what I wanted and put everything together and came back with a price that I couldn't believe. I had shopped around from place to place but never felt like others were really bothered or were really expensive. Even when we arrived to pick the system up i felt welcomed from when we walked in. They have really good knowledge and know what there talking about. Got to give a little shout out to George who was working in the back where all the magic happens, again he has fantastic knowledge and know what he is talking about and although he was working on another build for someone else still had the time to make conversation with myself. I will be back in future for further upgrades and extra bits. I now will not go anywhere else in terms of gaming. Brilliant company and I hope they go very far

The best customer service - Joshua and Direct Computers

For five months, I struggled with deciding on the perfect gaming PC build—comparing specs, price-matching every major UK computer shop, and nearly settling for a well-known custom PC store. However, their customer service didn’t meet my expectations.

Then, by chance, I saw a Facebook ad for Direct Computers and decided to check them out. Within one day, Joshua replied to my inquiry, offering expert advice and thoughtful recommendations. When I shared my specific build requirements, he not only provided a detailed quote but also price-matched a competitor while ensuring I got the exact brands and components I wanted. He even let me choose the GPU brand and swapped an AIO cooler for a sleek, high-performance air cooler—something most companies wouldn’t even discuss.

Before placing my order, I went back to read customer reviews about Direct Computers. Almost every review was overwhelmingly positive, and I noticed Joshua’s name mentioned repeatedly—not just on Trustpilot but also on Facebook. That reassured me that I was making the right decision.

After just a few days of back-and-forth emails, I felt confident in my decision and placed my order. When I followed up, Joshua updated me on a minor PSU delay, and the very next day, my PC was dispatched and delivered the following day! In less than two weeks, I had my first high-end gaming PC—an absolute beast featuring a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 4070, and 32GB RAM inside my requested Corsair 3500X case.

What truly sets Direct Computers apart is the customer service. Even after my purchase, Joshua has been incredibly helpful in answering all my post-build questions and offering useful tips.

As someone who worked as a call center supervisor, I know top-notch service when I see it—Joshua and Direct Computers exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for quality builds, fair pricing, and truly exceptional service, this is the company to trust. Highly recommended!
