Our Story

The Problem

We have spent years introducing gaming to our friends and building PCs for them. Over this time, we’ve seen hundreds of examples of just how steep the learning curve can be for newcomers to PC building - from parts selection to the build process.

The Problem

The Solution

The Solution

To make PC building accessible for all, we created RigMonkey - a brand that makes PC building as easy as buying a prebuilt, with all the customizability and savings of DIY. We hope to create a world where anyone can tap into the fun and connectedness of PC gaming, regardless of budget, time, or technical know-how.
