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Most of the options were outdated or simply couldn’t handle modern games, meaning non-techy parents were left in the dark, unsure of how to get the best value for their money.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…Family Approved PCs 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.
