It’s what’s on the OUTSIDE that counts – Choose Your Own Case: high-performance internals, your aesthetic.

Pre-built PCs! Everything you need for a phenomenal gaming experience, ready to play straight out of the box. It sounds perfect, right? Well, it almost is, but there’s always a caveat: the case. There’s nothing worse than finding an amazing pre-built gaming PC that has a high-end graphics card, looks great internally, and has all of the components working in perfect tandem to meet your desired specs, only for it to be in a chassis that just does not fit your vibe.

Home computers have existed for over 50 years, so why are we still choosing between specs and style? A PC that suits you shouldn't be limited to the PC builders of the world, and that's where Choose Your Own Case comes in, offering expert internals with your choice of chassis. So, how does it work?

What 'Choose Your Own Case' actually means.

The old way of buying a PC forced a choice: trust someone else's spec and their aesthetic, or spend hours configuring from scratch. Your setup is a battlestation, a content hub, a home office centrepiece. The case matters. It's not just a box.

We already handle the hard part: compatibility, stress testing, and a 3-year warranty that gives you genuine peace of mind. Choose Your Own Case adds the one thing most buyers actually want to control: how it looks sitting on your desk.

Here's how it works. You pick your performance tier from our preconfigured specs, taking care of the components so there's no agonising over bottlenecks or compatibility headaches. Then, once the internals are sorted, you choose your case from a curated selection of chassis across a range of styles. We build it, test it, and ship it — ready to plug in and play.

The key thing to know? Changing the case changes nothing under the hood. Same internals, same expert build quality, just a completely different personality on the outside.

What's your style?

Your setup says something about you, and the case is what the world is going to see. You could be building a gaming hub or an office showpiece, but no one wants a PC that doesn't fit the room. Here are some styles to consider and our top picks available through Choose Your Own Case:

Tempered glass & RGB showcase

The traditional gaming PC for the builder who wants their components on display. If you've invested in quality hardware, why hide it? These cases turn your internals into the centrepiece.

This stylish mid/full tower option combines tempered glass and vibrant RGB to bring your build’s internals to life. It's perfect for gamers who want their system to double as a centrepiece with strong airflow and modern connectivity.

All-black stealth

Clean, minimal, no fuss. Not everyone is after something flashy, but that doesn't mean you need to sacrifice style. These cases look as sharp in a home office as they do in a dedicated gaming den. Sometimes less really is more.

Compact & small form factor

Desk space is precious. A compact chassis means powerful internals without dominating your setup — ideal if you want performance without the footprint.

The Builds

So, what are you actually getting? Choose Your Own Case comes in three performance tiers, each built around NVIDIA's latest RTX 50 Series graphics cards and configured by CCL's experts to make sure every component earns its place. Whether you're after a capable 1080p gaming rig, a 1440p powerhouse, or an uncompromising 4K build, there's a starting point for you — and whichever tier you choose, the case is still entirely yours to pick.

The 5060 PC is the entry point, and a capable one at that. Built around the GeForce RTX 5060 8GB and an AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, with 16GB DDR5 and a 1TB SSD, this is a machine built for smooth 1080p gaming without stretching the budget. If you're stepping into PC gaming for the first time or looking to replace an ageing system, this is where to start.

Build a 5060 PC

The 5070 PC is the sweet spot, and it's easy to see why. An RTX 5070 12GB paired with an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, 32GB DDR5, and a 2TB SSD makes this the go-to for 1440p gaming at high settings. It's got the headroom to handle whatever you throw at it and the storage to match a serious game library.

Build a 5070 PC

At the top of the stack sits the 5080 PC, a build that doesn't mess about. An RTX 5080 16GB alongside an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D — one of the best gaming CPUs available right now — plus 32GB DDR5 and a 2TB SSD. This is a 4K-ready, future-proof build for those who want the absolute best.

Build a 5080 PC

Your build. Your way.

This is exactly the kind of choice CCL was built to offer – expert knowledge doing the heavy lifting without taking the fun parts away from you. Whether you're starting out or going all-in on 4K, Choose Your Own Case means you never have to choose between a PC that performs and one that looks the part.
