Your next PC,
built by hand.
Built by Ryan.
No prebuilt markup, no mystery parts, no call center. You either pick every single component yourself — or tell me what you actually do on your computer and I pick the parts that make sense. Either way, you see every price before you pay a dollar.
Two ways to get your PC. Both honest.
Most shops only give you one. Here you get both — and you can switch anytime. Start in the configurator, get stuck, and send it to me. Or start with the consultation and tweak the result part by part.
🛠️ Build Your Own
Every spec, your call. CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, case, cooling, power supply — with live pricing, wattage, and compatibility checks as you go.
- 9 part categories, 50+ real options
- Live total — no surprises at checkout
- Warnings if parts don't play well together
🎯 Tell me what you do. I pick the parts.
You answer plain-English questions — what games, what work, what screen, what budget. I turn that into a balanced build and explain why each part is in it.
- No jargon, no spec knowledge needed
- Instant recommendation you can adjust
- I review every request personally before you pay
Build Your Own — pick every spec
Prices below are typical retail estimates (Oct 2026) and are confirmed in writing before you pay. If a part is cheaper the week we order, you pay the cheaper price. Tap a preset to start, then make it yours.
Let Ryan pick — just tell me what you need
Don't know a 4070 from a 7800 XT? Perfect — that's the job. Answer these like you'd explain it to a friend. You'll get an instant recommendation, and I personally review it before anything is ordered.
Answer the questions, get a real build — not a sales pitch.
Every recommendation is balanced for your budget: no $900 graphics card paired with a bargain CPU, no 1000W power supply in a homework PC. If your budget and your goals don't line up, I'll say so plainly and show you the closest honest option.
Simple, honest pricing
The same rule as everything at Tidal Systems: you see the number before you commit, and extras are quoted in writing first. Parts are passed through at cost — I make my money on the build fee, not on marking up your graphics card.
Assembly, tidy cable management, BIOS + drivers, Windows setup (if selected), full stress test, and a walkthrough at pickup. Same price whether your PC is $800 or $3,800.
You pay what the parts cost, with receipts. Order them yourself and bring them in, or I order them for you — same build fee either way.
Data transfer from your old PC, home delivery & setup in the Boca area, and rush builds are priced in writing before any work starts. No surprise line items, ever.
Component prices on this page are typical retail estimates as of October 2026 and move with the market. Your final quote is locked in writing before you pay. Half the build fee is due when we order parts, half at pickup.
From first message to first boot
We talk
Use the configurator or the consult form — or just email me. We agree on a build and a written price.
Parts arrive
Ordered in your name with receipts shared. Typical wait is 3–7 days depending on stock.
I build & test
Assembled by hand, cables tidied, then stress-tested for thermals and stability. You get photos as it comes together.
You pick up
Pickup in Boca Raton (777 Glades Rd area). We boot it together, I walk you through it, and I'm one email away after.
Hi, I'm Ryan.
I run Tidal Systems here in Boca Raton, and I build PCs the same way I do everything else: one person, start to finish, with the price in plain sight.
I've built machines for gaming, streaming, editing, and plain getting-work-done. I won't sell you a part you don't need, and if a prebuilt on sale somewhere honestly beats what I can build you, I'll tell you to buy that instead.

Fair questions
How long does a build take?
Once parts arrive (usually 3–7 days), assembly and testing takes 2–3 business days. I'll give you a real date in the written quote — and tell you early if stock delays it.
Can I bring my own parts?
Yes — the $149 build fee is the same. Just run the list by me first so we can catch compatibility issues before you spend money.
What if something fails later?
Every part carries its manufacturer warranty, and I'll help you diagnose which part it is and handle the claim paperwork. My labor on warranty diagnosis for builds I made is free for the first year.
Do you do upgrades and repairs, not just new builds?
Yes — GPU swaps, storage and RAM upgrades, clean Windows installs, and “it just got slow” tune-ups. Email me what's happening and I'll quote it in writing.
Why not just buy a prebuilt?
Sometimes you should — and I'll say so. But prebuilts often hide cheap power supplies and slow RAM behind a flashy GPU. Here, every part is named, priced, and chosen for your use.
Ready when you are.
Build it part by part, or answer five questions and let me do the homework. Either way, the first step costs nothing.
