Your first step into PC gaming — built simple, built honest.
A genuine, no-nonsense starter gaming PC with real 1080p gaming performance.
The First Boot is a Pink Parsnip Computers starter PC built for anyone stepping into PC gaming for the first time, without paying over the odds to get started.
The Intel Core i5-8500 pairs with a dedicated GTX 1650 4GB, Black (Refurbished) graphics card, giving you real 1080p gaming performance rather than relying on built in graphics. 16GB of dual channel DDR4 memory and a 500GB SSD keep everyday use fast and responsive too, and a 1TB upgrade can be chosen on the product page.
The First Boot runs Windows 11 exactly as Microsoft intended, with no bypasses and no workarounds.
TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are both natively supported and enabled on this platform, so you get proper long term update support rather than a machine forced onto hardware it was never meant to run on.
A lot of budget PCs at this price point cut corners here. This one does not.
The First Boot is available in your choice of a black or white Micro-ATX case, so you can match it to your desk and setup.
Both options include tinted glass front and side panels, along with three pre-fitted ARGB fans daisy chained together and controlled from a single case button.
