A Parent’s Journey to Affordable Gaming PCs
It all started with a call from my sister...
My nephew had asked for a gaming PC for Christmas, but what my sister found online would mean blowing her month's rent.
She nearly fell off her chair when she saw the prices but didn’t want to disappoint her little gamer, so she asked for my help.
I hadn’t built a PC in years, but I couldn’t let my nephew…or my sister…down.
So I dove back into the world of PC building, learned all the latest specs, and put together a high-quality, budget-friendly gaming PC for a fraction of the cost she’d seen online.
But what started as a family favour quickly turned into something bigger.
Because during the process, I realised that affordable PCs for young, entry-level gamers were either overpriced, poorly built or too slow to arrive.
Most of the options were outdated or simply couldn’t handle modern games, meaning non-techy parents were left in the dark, unsure of how to get the best value for their money.
That’s when I realised there was a real need to build high-performance PCs for parents and their kids on a budget…and so…Galactic Gaming was born.
We believe in more than selling PCs with cheap parts to turn a quick profit.
We believe in helping parents reward their kids for hard work, making learning fun, and leaving them absolutely over the moon.

Over 80% Recycled Parts

What Other Parents Say
I looked about for a new PC for my son's birthday. I must say, for the price that we paid, the system played everything that was asked from it by my son, he was over the moon!
Galactic gaming have been so helpful and delivered exactly what I was after. Really good value for money, and smashed the competition out the park.
Ordered a gaming pc for my son for Xmas. Had a few issues with the original but we got it sent back to Greg and he replaced and upgraded the pc for free. Extremely good customer service.
Bought the Venom bundle for my sons Christmas present & he loves it. When first received the monitor was broken through transit, once I had told Greg not only did he send another monitor, he upgraded it too!
