Who We Are
We like to be different. We are genuinely 100% family run, just a husband and wife team. This is our sole income and our lives.
Adam has been building and working on PCs for 30 years. Carly, or Lady P as she goes by, spends her days sorting orders, chatting with customers new and existing, and dealing with our suppliers. Between us, we are Pink Parsnip Computers.
You Do Not Need To Understand PCs
The Questions We Will Ask You
Please do not get bogged down in CPU speeds, RAM speeds and long spec lists. Just answer these four simple questions and we handle the rest.
🎮 Which games will you or the lucky person play? This tells us how much power is really needed.
🖥️ Monitors come in three resolutions: 1080p (Full HD), 1440p or 4K. We build your PC to game at the right one. No monitor? We can bundle one that suits your PC perfectly.
🎨 A black build? A white build? You may not even have thought about it yet, and that is fine. Every PC is made to order, so we can match your style.
💷 We do not like asking, but it matters. What are you comfortable spending? We will never pressure you into spending more than that.
Honest Advice On Budget
If we think your budget is too low for what you want to play, we will say so and tell you exactly what performance to expect. Then the decision is yours.
Performance is measured in FPS, or frames per second. It is simply how quickly the game draws its picture. More frames means smoother gameplay. Too few and the game looks jumpy and laggy, and the fun disappears. We will tell you the FPS to expect on the games you play, at the resolution we agree together.
A PC Is Not Just A Console
A PC is a bigger investment than many consoles, and depending on budget it can play games far better. But it is also a fully working computer.
Be Wary Of Bargain Bundles
⚠️ You may see deals at £300 or £400 including a monitor, keyboard and mouse, with pictures of games like Fortnite on the box. We are not saying they will not run those games. But the biggest thing we hear from customers who bought elsewhere first is disappointment: the PC was not fit for what they wanted to play.
Look out for listings that only say something like "Intel i5" or "i7" without the exact model. The processor is the brain of the PC, and a vague name often hides very old hardware in a pretty box with flashing lights. Old hardware struggles with modern games, and often cannot be upgraded later.
