We’re Dr IT Services, where certified PC builder Vlad Tabaranu designs, assembles, and optimises custom gaming computers across Birmingham and West Midlands. Our expert gaming PC service eliminates compatibility issues for gamers, content creators, and esports enthusiasts who demand peak performance from their gaming rigs.
Gaming PC builder service creates high-performance gaming desktops using premium components including latest GPU graphics cards, powerful CPU processors, fast SSD storage, and advanced cooling systems. We build custom computers using AMD Ryzen, Intel Core, NVIDIA GeForce, and AMD Radeon components with RGB lighting, overclocking, and cable management expertise.
Why Generic Gaming PCs Limit Your Gaming Potential
Pre-built gaming computers compromise performance and waste your money. Bottlenecked components reduce frame rates. Poor cooling causes thermal throttling. Generic configurations ignore your specific gaming needs and budget constraints.
- Are you tired of low FPS and stuttering gameplay? Performance issues destroy competitive gaming advantages and ruin immersive experiences. Our custom gaming PC builds deliver consistent high frame rates across all games through balanced component selection and performance optimisation.
- Do pre-built PCs break your budget with unnecessary features? Mass-produced gaming computers include expensive components you don’t need while skimping on critical performance parts. Custom builds allocate budget precisely where performance matters most.
- Does your current PC struggle with modern games? Outdated hardware prevents enjoying latest AAA titles at high settings. Our future-proof gaming builds handle current games perfectly while providing upgrade paths for emerging technologies.
- Are you overwhelmed by component compatibility research? Motherboard socket types, RAM speeds, PSU wattage calculations, and cooling requirements create confusion. Our expert consultation eliminates guesswork through professional component matching.
- Do gaming laptops overheat and throttle performance? Portable gaming compromises thermal management and upgradeability. Desktop gaming PCs provide superior cooling, performance, and expansion capabilities for serious gamers.
How Our Custom Gaming PC Service Delivers Ultimate Performance
Gaming computer assembly creates measurable performance advantages through expert component selection and professional optimisation. We build gaming rigs that dominate competitive play and handle demanding workloads.

What Components Create Ultimate Gaming Performance?
- Graphics card selection determines gaming performance more than any other component. We recommend NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4080, and RTX 4090 or AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, RX 7800 XT, and RX 7900 XTX based on resolution, refresh rate, and budget requirements.
- Processor pairing prevents bottlenecks through balanced CPU-GPU combinations. AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, Ryzen 7 7700X, and Ryzen 9 7900X or Intel Core i5-13600K, i7-13700K, and i9-13900K provide gaming performance without overspending on unnecessary cores.
- Memory optimisation ensures smooth gameplay through fast DDR5 RAM with proper timings. 16GB DDR5-5600 suits most gaming, while 32GB DDR5-6000 handles streaming, content creation, and future-proofing requirements.
- Storage configuration combines NVMe SSD speed with HDD capacity for optimal game loading and storage. 1TB NVMe SSD for operating system and favourite games plus 2TB HDD for game library provides perfect balance.
How Do We Handle Different Gaming Requirements?
- Esports gaming builds prioritise high refresh rates and competitive advantages through components optimized for 240Hz+ monitors, minimal input lag, and consistent frame times in CS:GO, Valorant, and League of Legends.
- 4K gaming systems deliver cinematic experiences through powerful graphics cards, fast processors, and optimized cooling for AAA titles at maximum settings with ray tracing enabled.
- VR-ready configurations meet demanding virtual reality requirements through recommended specifications for Oculus Quest, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR with headroom for future VR technologies.
- Content creation workstations combine gaming performance with streaming, video editing, and rendering capabilities through multi-core processors, professional graphics cards, and expanded memory configurations.
What Cooling Solutions Ensure Peak Performance?
- Air cooling systems provide reliable thermal management through premium tower coolers, optimised case airflow, and quality thermal paste application for most gaming configurations under normal usage.
- Liquid cooling installations offer superior thermal performance and aesthetics through AIO coolers or custom water cooling loops for overclocked systems and high-end processors requiring maximum cooling capacity.
- Silent PC builds minimise noise through specialised components including fanless PSUs, quiet case fans, and optimised thermal curves for users prioritising acoustic comfort during gaming sessions.
