PC Upgrades: SSD, RAM, GPU & More
Faster boots, smoother games, and cooler temps for the desktop you already own.
Upgrades that make a real difference
- SSD: still booting from a spinning hard drive? An SSD is often the single biggest speed upgrade for an older desktop. I can clone your current drive so you don't have to reinstall everything.
- RAM: 16 GB is comfortable for most home users and many games; 32 GB suits heavy multitasking, streaming while gaming, and editing. I also make sure it runs at its rated speed (XMP/EXPO).
- Graphics card: installed with a power check and a clean driver install.
- CPU and cooling: same-platform CPU swaps, air coolers, and AIO liquid coolers with fresh paste and temp checks.
- Fans, RGB, and cable management: better airflow and a cleaner look.

How pricing works: The diagnostic for desktops and gaming PCs is a flat $50. The diagnostic fee is charged on its own and is not credited toward the repair. You get written findings and a quote, and nothing gets repaired until you approve it.
