Custom PCs & repairs · Guilderland, NY
Stop buying someone else's compromise.

Tell us what you play, create, or need fixed. We’ll choose compatible, name-brand parts around what you actually need, build and test the system locally, and show you exactly what you’re paying for.
- Transparent parts and pricing

01 — Full Service Bench
Not just new builds.
Custom machines are the specialty. Upgrades, repairs, troubleshooting, maintenance and cleanup are welcome too.
Used & Refurbished Systems
Value-priced machines, fully tested before they’re sold: cleaned, re-pasted, stress tested and honestly described.
Repairs & Diagnostics
No POST, random shutdowns, blue screens, dead ports. Root-cause diagnosis first — you get a straight answer before you get a bill.
Upgrades
GPU swaps, more RAM, SSD conversions, fresh cooling. Sometimes the smartest build is the one you already own.
Gaming Room & Workstation Set-Up
Desk configuration, monitor set-up, cable management and lighting. The whole space set up and customized — not just the tower.
Tune-Ups & Cleanup
Malware removal, bloatware purge, fresh thermal paste and a deep dust-out. Old machines run shockingly well after a proper service.
Aesthetic Work
Cable management, custom lighting, sleeved extensions, panel swaps. If it's going on your desk, it should look like it belongs there.

Word From The Hive
Built to be bragged about.
“Just pick up a Ferrari of a PC from Josh Lieb shout out to him!!! this pc is built to perfection everything about it it’s just awesome. Can’t thank Josh enough for helping me out with everything super easy process and he got it done thanks so much if any of you guys need anything from @Buzzworthy Builds just hit him up he’s happy to help out 1000 out of a 10 on everything!!!”
“Big Thank you to Josh @Buzzworthy Builds as I am nothing short of impressed, couldn’t be any happier with how this came out as well as the top notch customer service. Truly brought this build to life. 100/10 experience from planning the build and ordering parts all the way up to receiving the final product. 100% would recommend for any PC builds/upgrades!”
“Shoutout to Josh at Buzzworthy Builds for the PC upgrade 💪 everything runs like a dream. Quick, reliable work. 100/10”
“I was considering buying a small pc in place of a SteamBox. Josh worked with me, with no pressure and a lot of patience. I ended up with a beast of a gaming PC that has easily replaced my Xbox and Playstation, let alone a better setup than the SteamBox. I would definitely work with Josh again and be confident to refer anyone to him.”
“Huge Thank you to Buzzworthy Builds Josh and I had been in talks about a PC for a long time. My old one gave out on me a few years back. After many conversations almost going through with it I waited and I’m glad I did. This thing is an absolute monster of a build. Runs smooth as butter, quiet as a cat and stays nice and cool while doing it. I could not be happier with this build.”
“Buzzworthy Builds once again coming in clutch with my pc like usual couldn’t have a better person highly recommended 👍”
“Buzzworthy Builds did an awesome job helping me design an awesome build, which included everything I asked for and was within the budget I set. The best part is the continued personal support, which you don’t get buying from the major retailers. Will be coming back again next time I need something!”
“Buzzworthy Builds has mastered the craft of building custom PCs. They built my custom PC that I use daily, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I’ve never had any issues, and the performance, build quality, and overall appearance are top-notch. The attention to detail is consistently impressive. I highly recommend Buzzworthy Builds to anyone looking for a custom PC build, upgrades, or routine maintenance.”

04 — Straight Answers
Questions worth asking.
Is a prebuilt actually cheaper than a custom build?
Sometimes at the sticker — but rarely over the life of the machine. Prebuilts hit a price by cutting where you can't see it: the power supply, the motherboard VRMs, the cooler. Those are exactly the parts that decide whether you can upgrade in three years or start over. You'll see every part and every price before anything is ordered, so you can decide where the money goes.
How long does a build take?
Assembly is the fast part. The timeline is driven by parts availability — once everything is on the bench, the build, OS install, updates and burn-in testing are wrapped up quickly. You'll get a realistic window when the parts list is approved, and an update if anything shifts.
Can you fix a computer you didn't build?
Absolutely — that's a big part of the work. Desktops, laptops, prebuilts from any brand, and machines built by someone else. Diagnostics come first: you get told what's actually wrong and what it will take to fix, before any work starts.
Do I get to pick the parts?
Yes. You get an itemized list with real part numbers, and nothing is locked in until you sign off. Have a brand you trust, a case you love, or a GPU you're bringing over from your old rig? Say so — it gets designed around that.
What about the parts warranty?
Every component that is bought new comes from authorized retailers and carries its own manufacturer warranty in your name — a real advantage over prebuilts, where a single failed part can mean shipping the whole tower away. If something does fail, you've got a local person who knows exactly what's in the box — and knows how to fix it.
