Custom PC building in Bastia
We build custom PCs for businesses and private individuals in Bastia and across Corsica. A quiet office machine, a workstation for design or video editing, a GPU machine for AI, a gaming PC. Every component is chosen for your use and your budget. We then assemble the machine and test it, configure it, then hand it over.
A custom PC for every use
A shop-bought computer is designed to suit as many people as possible. A PC built for you starts from the other end, meaning your specific use, your software, your budget. We mostly build four kinds of machine.
- 01
The office PC
A compact machine, quiet, frugal with power, with fast storage. For email, documents, management software.
- 02
The design and video workstation
A processor with plenty of cores, lots of memory, a suitable graphics card, fast storage. For photo retouching, layout, 3D modelling or video editing.
- 03
The AI machine
One or more GPUs (graphics cards capable of massively parallel calculation) with plenty of memory. Enough to run AI models locally, or generate images.
- 04
The gaming PC
A well-matched processor and graphics card, effective cooling, a well-finished case. It is sized for your games and the screen you play on.
For professionals and private buyers alike
- 01
Designers, photographers, video makers
Freelancers or agencies who need a reliable, powerful machine sized for their creative software.
- 02
Architects, engineering firms, construction
Workstations for technical drawing, modelling, rendering. They open heavy files without making you wait.
- 03
Businesses exploring AI
A first GPU machine to try local AI on your own documents, before thinking about a dedicated server.
- 04
Private individuals
Gamers, content creators, students, enthusiasts. Anyone who wants a PC that fits them, built by a professional who tests it first.
Choosing components for a balanced PC
A fast PC is not a pile of the most expensive parts. Its components suit each other, that is all. Here is what we look at with you.
- 01
The processor
The brain of the machine. Core count matters for 3D rendering and video editing. The speed of each core, on the other hand, matters for many games and everyday programs.
- 02
The graphics card
It carries a lot of weight for gaming as for 3D, video or AI. For AI, it is mostly its memory (VRAM) that sets the size of model the machine can run.
- 03
Memory and storage
Enough memory for your software. A fast SSD for the system, perhaps with a second drive for archives.
- 04
Power supply and cooling
A good-quality, correctly sized power supply and suitable cooling protect the components while keeping noise down. These are the parts people are tempted to skimp on. Wrongly.
- 05
Room to upgrade
A motherboard and case that leave space to add more memory later, another drive, a newer graphics card.
How we build your PC
- 01
Understanding your needs
Software or games you use, how quiet it has to be, space available, screen, budget. Together we define what the machine needs to do.
- 02
Proposal and quote
An annotated parts list with a quote you can read. If you like, a cheaper or more upgradeable variant alongside.
- 03
Assembly and testing
We order the agreed components and assemble the machine with care. Cables are routed so air flows properly. Then the machine runs under load for a good while, long enough to check its stability and temperatures.
- 04
Set-up and handover
Operating system, drivers, updates, BIOS settings (the motherboard's start-up software), then your software. The machine is handed over with the explanations you need. Delivery or on-site installation, we arrange it with you.
Gaming PCs in Corsica, performance where it counts
For a gaming PC, everything rests on the balance between processor and graphics card. We start from the games you play, then the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor. The build is sized so that no component holds the others back. Cooling, noise, the look of the case are part of the choice as well.
Some parts of your current machine, an SSD or the case for instance, can be reused if they are still suitable. It is a good way to put the budget into the graphics card.
Your data and the budget for your PC
For business use, a machine built to order is configured with the same rigour as a shop-bought workstation. Named accounts, an encrypted disk, automatic updates, backups of important files under the 3-2-1 rule. That supports your GDPR obligations. If you are replacing an old computer, we move your data across and then wipe the old drive securely. Every new component carries its manufacturer's warranty, and we tell you the terms.
Budget depends mainly on the intended use and on the graphics card, often the biggest single cost for gaming, video or AI. Then on the processor, the amount of memory and storage, how quiet you want it. Reused parts bring the price down. Peripherals to budget for (monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset) push it up.
Upgrades, upkeep, repairs
A machine assembled part by part can be upgraded the same way. Later on, adding memory, a drive or a newer graphics card will extend its life without buying a whole new PC. We remain available for those upgrades, for a dust-out every so often (the cooling will thank you), and for diagnosis if something fails. In a business, the PC can also join the maintenance contract that covers the rest of your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
Does a custom PC cost more than a shop-bought one?
Not necessarily. For the same budget, the money goes where your use needs it, the graphics card or memory for instance, instead of on things you will never use. You do have to allow for the time spent designing the machine and then building and testing it. The quote shows that clearly.
Do you also supply components or peripherals on their own?
Yes. Businesses and private buyers alike. We order them to suit your needs and check they are compatible with your machine. We can fit them too.
What happens if a part fails?
Every new component carries its manufacturer's warranty. You receive the detailed list of parts. If something fails, we identify which part is at fault and help you with the claim.
Can you install my software and transfer my data?
Yes. Operating system, drivers, the software you hold licences for. Your files are transferred from the old computer, which we then wipe if you wish.
Can a gaming PC also be used for work or AI?
Often, yes. A good gaming graphics card also speeds up video editing or 3D, and plenty of local AI tools. If AI is one of your goals, we favour a card with more memory, even if it means trimming elsewhere.
