Who It's For
Whether you are a first-time builder
or just tired of overpaying.
Atlas Workshop was built for everyone, new or veteran builders alike!
For Gamers
You want a PC that can actually handle your games.
Tell us what you play, and we will help you choose parts that make sense for your setup without wasting money on components you do not need.
For Work and Productivity
You need a computer that will not slow you down.
Editing, coding, design, 3D work. We help you build a system around the work you actually do, so your PC keeps up when it matters.
For Curious and Learning
You have always wanted to understand how PCs work.
No experience needed. Trev walks you through the parts, the choices, and the build itself so you actually understand the computer you are using.
Transparency
Prebuilt PCs are not bad.
They are just not honest.

Tips from the Workshop
Smart moves before you build.
Quick lessons we wish more first-time builders knew. New tips added as we learn.
Power Supply
Tip 01
Buy more wattage than you think you need.
A quality 750W PSU on a build that draws 500W runs cooler, quieter, and lasts longer than a 600W unit pushed to its limit. Headroom is not wasted, it is insurance.
RAM
Tip 02
Speed matters more than capacity past 32GB.
For most gaming and work setups, 32GB of fast DDR5 will outperform 64GB of slow DDR5. Buy the speed first, add capacity later if you actually need it.
Storage
Tip 03
One fast NVMe beats two slow SSDs.
A single 1TB Gen 4 NVMe will load games and boot Windows faster than two 500GB SATA drives combined. Skip the old tech, your future self will thank you.
Cooling
Tip 04
Air coolers are not outdated.
A good $40 air cooler outperforms most $150 AIO liquid coolers on mid-range CPUs, lasts twice as long, and never leaks. Save the liquid for the high end.
Cases
Tip 05
Airflow beats RGB every time.
A boring mesh-front case with three intake fans will cool your build better than a glass-walled showpiece with closed panels. Performance first, lights second.
GPUs
Tip 06
Last-gen flagship beats this-gen mid-range.
A used RTX 4080 often outperforms a new RTX 5070 for the same money. Generations matter less than tier when you compare apples to apples.
Motherboards
Tip 07
You probably do not need the premium board.
Unless you are overclocking heavily or running multiple GPUs, a $180 mid-range B-series board will run your CPU just as well as a $400 X-series flagship.
The Build
Tip 08
Read the manual before you start.
Every motherboard and case manual answers 90 percent of the questions you will Google mid-build. Five minutes of reading saves an hour of troubleshooting.

FAQ
Questions we get asked a lot.
Do not see yours? Trev is in the corner, or just reach out.
You use our PC builder to pick your components step by step. We provide the ability for you to check your component compatibility. Once you checkout, we source the parts and ship everything to your door. You build it using our included guide, if you have not chosen us to prebuild it for you that is.
No experience needed. That is the whole point. Our guide walks you through every step, and Trev is there to help you along the way.
Yes. We source everything from verified suppliers. Every part is brand new and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Workshop builds start around $1,250 CAD or $900 USD for a budget gaming PC and go up depending on what you need. You control the budget, our builder shows you the total in real time.
Yes, but only to the US and all Canadian provinces through our shipping partner.
We will contact you before processing your order if any selected part is unavailable and offer an equivalent alternative at the same or lower price.
Yes of course! You do not need to order a full computer, just pick out a few components and we will ship straight to you.
Other brands sell you prebuilts, hide markups, and substitute parts without telling you. With Atlas Workshop you see every component, pick every component, and nothing gets swapped out. And let us not forget about the education we bring. No more getting ripped off!
Your dream PC is closer than you think.
Stop overpaying for prebuilts. Stop feeling lost when picking parts. Atlas Workshop puts you in control, every part explained, every price transparent, and a guide that helps you along the way.
