Steves PC has specialized in custom computer builds since 2018, serving San Antonio’s gaming, professional, and business communities from our location at 10207 N IH 35. Our approach combines technical expertise with personalized service to deliver systems precisely matched to your requirements and budget.

Professional Custom Computer Building Services

Our Build Consultation Process

Every custom system begins with a detailed consultation to understand your specific use case. Rather than recommending generic configurations, we analyze your actual workload requirements—whether that’s high-resolution gaming, professional content creation, engineering applications, or computational work.

Our technical team evaluates your needs and designs a component configuration optimized for your applications. We prioritize balanced system design over arbitrary specifications, ensuring each component contributes to overall performance without creating bottlenecks or unnecessary expense.

Following your approval of specifications and component selection, we source all parts, complete the assembly, perform comprehensive testing protocols, and deliver a fully operational system backed by our one-year build warranty plus individual manufacturer warranties on all components.

Custom Build Categories

High-Performance Gaming Systems

Gaming builds represent our core expertise. Our configurations span from efficient systems starting at $1800-1900 to premium 4K gaming platforms featuring current-generation graphics solutions. A well-balanced 2k gaming system capable of maximum settings in current titles typically ranges from $2,100-2,600, depending on storage capacity and aesthetic preferences.

Professional Workstations

Content creation and engineering workstations require distinct component prioritization. Video editing, 3D rendering, and CAD applications demand high core counts, substantial memory allocation, and specific GPU architectures. CUDA acceleration requirements, rendering workloads, and professional software certifications inform our component recommendations. Professional workstation builds typically begin at $4,800.

Streaming and Content Creation Systems

Live streaming requires dedicated encoding capabilities. We configure both single-system streaming builds and dual-PC streaming setups, depending on your production requirements and budget parameters.

Remote Work and Professional Office Systems

Modern remote work often demands significant computing power. Systems designed for multi-monitor productivity, virtualization, data analysis, and demanding office applications typically range from $900-1,300 based on specific requirements.

Component Selection Standards

Processing and Graphics Solutions

We utilize AMD Ryzen and Intel processors based on workload analysis and current market positioning. Graphics solutions from NVIDIA and AMD are selected according to software optimization requirements, performance targets, and availability at competitive pricing.

Storage Architecture

System storage typically combines NVMe solid-state drives for operating system and active applications with supplementary SATA SSDs or mechanical drives for bulk storage when needed. We specify reliable manufacturers with established track records rather than budget alternatives with questionable longevity.

Memory and Power Configuration

Memory specifications meet speed requirements for your chosen processor while maintaining cost efficiency. Gaming systems include 16GB minimum; professional workstations begin at 32GB.

Power supplies meet 80+ Bronze efficiency standards at minimum, with 80+ Gold units preferred. We size power delivery systems with appropriate headroom rather than maximum capacity operation.

Case and Cooling Solutions

Case selection balances aesthetics, thermal performance, and noise characteristics according to your preferences. Options range from tempered glass showcase builds with RGB lighting to acoustically optimized silent systems to professional office-appropriate designs.

Build and Testing Procedures

Following specification approval and 50% deposit, we procure all components and begin assembly. Typical build time ranges from 5-7 business days following component receipt, with extended timelines only when specific parts experience availability delays. We maintain communication throughout the process.

Assembly procedures include complete system integration, operating system (Windows distributions), driver updates, thermal stress testing, and extended load testing to validate stability before delivery. All original component packaging and documentation is included for warranty purposes.

Transparent Pricing Structure

Custom builds begin at $1500 for entry-level gaming configurations and extend beyond $4,000 for premium workstations or high-end gaming platforms. Your investment covers:

• Components at competitive pricing with reasonable margins
• Professional assembly and system integration
• Comprehensive testing and quality assurance
• One-year build warranty covering assembly and configuration
• Component compatibility verification and optimization
• Resolution of DOA components without customer involvement

We maintain competitive but fair pricing. DIY building remains the lowest-cost approach, but most clients value the time savings, expertise, and warranty support over marginal cost differences.

What’s Included With Every Build

• Fully assembled and tested system
• Complete component packaging and documentation
• One-year warranty on build quality and assembly
• Full manufacturer warranties on individual components (typically 1-5 years per component)

Peripherals not included: Monitors, input devices, audio equipment, and furniture require separate purchase. We provide recommendations and can source peripherals as needed.
