Starter — a real gaming pc under $1,000 — for minecraft, roblox, and lighter fortnite.
The Starter is for the kid who is just getting into PC gaming. Most days that means Minecraft, Roblox, and a bit of Fortnite. The build pairs a six-core Ryzen with the new Intel Arc B580 — a 12 GB graphics card that handily out-runs the older RTX 3050 you will see in big-box prebuilts. The honest tradeoff: no glass panel, no rainbow lighting, and a CPU cooler that is "fine" rather than "fancy." None of that matters for the games an eight-to-eleven-year-old plays.
- Plays Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite Performance Mode at 1080p without breaking a sweat
- 12 GB of GPU memory means modded Minecraft and shaders work today and next year
- The cheapest comparable Canadian-built prebuilt sits around $1,549 — the savings are real
Family — the gaming pc most parents pick — fortnite at 144 fps, minecraft with shaders, room to grow.
The Family build is the one we tell parents to pick when they are not sure. The Ryzen 5 7600 sits on AMD's newest socket, which means the motherboard will outlast two or three CPU generations. The RTX 4060 plays every game school-aged kids play today at high settings, and brings DLSS — a quality-and-frame-rate trick that keeps the card relevant well past its release year. The honest tradeoff: 8 GB of GPU memory is fine today, will start to feel tight in five years on the most demanding new releases. By then, your kid is in high school and we will happily talk about a graphics-card swap.
- Fortnite Performance Mode at 144 fps and Battle Royale at 100+ fps on high settings
- Modern AM5 platform — RAM and CPU can be upgraded for years before the motherboard becomes the bottleneck
- The SKU most parents pick when they are not sure
Plus — for higher-frame fortnite, 1440p, and growing-up gaming through high school.
Plus is the build for the kid who is past Minecraft and Roblox and takes Fortnite seriously, or whose parents want the PC to last through grade twelve. The 16 GB graphics card is the meaningful step over Family — it is what makes 1440p gaming and very-modded Minecraft feel comfortable rather than borderline. We are honest about it: if your kid is mostly casual, the Family is the better pick and we will say so over email. Plus exists for the cases where it earns its price.
- 16 GB of graphics memory — heavy Minecraft modpacks and 1440p AAA without compromise
- Eight cores and 32 GB of RAM mean a Discord call, OBS stream, and Fortnite all run at the same time
- Honest answer: if your kid is purely casual, Family at $1,499 is the better-value pick
Why three SKUs and not a configurator
Every other Canadian gaming PC builder either ships a configurator with hundreds of choices or a sprawling catalogue with dozens of SKUs. Both are honest answers to a different question: what does an enthusiast want to build?
The question we are answering is what should a parent buy for an eight-to-fifteen-year-old who plays Minecraft, Fortnite, and Roblox? That question has three good answers — and we have built each of them. Hundreds of small decisions (RAM speed, motherboard chipset, fan curves, BIOS settings, Windows pre-configuration) go into a quiet, reliable PC for a kid. We do that work once, well, three times. You pick by what your kid plays.
If you genuinely want a custom build — a different graphics card, a specific case, a different storage setup — email us. We are happy to build one. We just do not lead with it.
What is inside every PC
The three SKUs differ in CPU, GPU, RAM, and case. The work that goes around them is the same on every build:
- Name-brand parts only. Power supplies from EVGA, Corsair, or Seasonic. Motherboards from ASRock, MSI, or Gigabyte. SSDs from Samsung, Crucial, or Western Digital.
- Cable management you can be proud of. Tucked, tied, and out of airflow paths. Open the side panel and it will look like the photos.
- BIOS prepared for the parts inside. XMP/EXPO enabled, fan curves tuned for quiet, latest stable firmware loaded.
- Windows 11 Home, properly licensed. Fully updated, bloat-free, with Windows 11 Family Safety pre-configured so screen-time limits and content filters are ready before your kid signs in.
- Parental Controls Kit included. Bookmarks to our parental control guides, a screen-time pledge card, and a quick-start guide written for parents — not for hobbyists.
- Burn-in tested for 24 hours. Every build runs a stability and thermal test before it ships. Read the full process at How we build a PC.
Take the two-minute quiz
Answer five plain-English questions and we will tell you which of the three is the right pick — with a sentence on why.
Frequently asked questions
Which one should I get for a 10-year-old who plays Minecraft and is starting Fortnite?
Family. The RTX 4060 keeps Fortnite at 144 fps on high settings and handles Minecraft with shaders without a second thought. It is also the build with the longest realistic life-span for that mix of games — your kid will not outgrow it before middle school is over.
Why is there no configurator?
Because a configurator turns a kid's birthday gift into a parts-research project. We make the choice easier, not harder. Three honest builds, three honest answers. If you want something genuinely custom, email us and we will quote it.
Will the Starter run Fortnite?
Yes — at 1080p in Performance Mode it runs at 120+ fps, which is what most kids actually play. In full Battle Royale mode at high settings it sits around 90 fps and dips into the 70s in heavy fights. If your kid is playing competitively at 144 Hz, step up to Family.
Can I upgrade later if my kid grows into needing more?
Yes. Every build uses standard ATX or microATX parts on a normal-brand motherboard — no proprietary connectors. RAM, storage, and the graphics card are user-replaceable. We walk you through any upgrade over email at no charge, even years after you bought the PC.
What if my kid plays a game that is not Minecraft, Fortnite, or Roblox?
These three drive most of our customers, but the builds run almost everything else on Steam too — modern AAA, esports titles (Valorant, CS2, Apex), simulation games. Email us the game name and your kid's age and we will tell you which build fits, honestly.
