Build Stack

For a first machine, or an upgrade that has been sitting in a cart

You already picked a CPU and GPU. Here is the rest of the first build, labeled so it actually fits.

One ATX layout. Case, RAM, storage, 850W modular PSU, twin-tower cooler. You add the board, CPU, and GPU.

Five tabs, five boxes, and a GPU that does not clear the front fan

You did the fun part. The CPU and the GPU are chosen. Then Saturday turns into shipping dates, a PCPartPicker warning you cannot decode, and a cooler that kisses the side panel.

That is not because you cannot read a spec sheet. You shopped SKUs from five stores. Nothing in those carts was built as one layout, so the last 12mm of the card and the last 5mm of the cooler become the whole weekend.

A cluttered desk of open PC part boxes

Your list was never the problem. The layout was.

A first build stalls on case clearance, PSU cables, and RAM that fights the cooler. Buy those as one ATX set and the GPU you already paid for has somewhere to live. You still choose the processor and the graphics card. That is the part that should be yours.

One box, one layout, a page in the lid

Without a scavenger hunt for a 24-pin. Without a mini-ITX surprise. Without a 550W brick sitting under a new GPU.

  • Mid-tower case

    Mesh front and glass side. Room for a long GPU and the twin-tower cooler without hitting the panel.

  • DDR5 kit

    Dual channel out of the box. 16GB on Core, 32GB on First Build and Workshop, same stick height if you add more later.

  • Gen4 NVMe

    M.2 2280. 1TB on Core, 2TB on First Build, a second 2TB on Workshop so bulk files are not on the OS drive.

  • 850W modular PSU

    Headroom for a current mid or high-end GPU. Cables you do not use stay in the bag.

  • Twin-tower cooler

    Current Intel and AMD brackets in a labeled bag. Quiet enough that you hear the GPU fans first.

Day 1

The box opens. Parts are labeled for the same ATX layout. Cooler brackets name the socket. The install order is in the lid.

The first weekend

You seat the CPU and GPU you already chose, run the board's flash button if you need it, and POST without a second trip for cables.

Month 1

The machine is the daily driver. Workshop adds a second 2TB so games and scratch files are not fighting for the boot drive.

What buyers usually ask

Reviews will sit here once customers have used the kits. Until then, the questions that stop a first build:

Waiting on a real review about: I've tried building from five stores
Waiting on a real review about: Will it fit a card like mine
Waiting on a real review about: How long until I can actually use it

The 30-day door

Use it for 30 days unopened. If a part is dead on arrival, contact us through the store and we replace it. Unopened kits and parts can come back for a refund.

Free US shipping on orders over $99. Typical ship window is 2–4 business days after payment.

Questions

Will this work with Intel?
The kit is ATX and does not include a motherboard. You add the board for your CPU. The cooler includes current Intel and AMD brackets. The Stack B650 Board is AM5 only.
I already have a case. Can I buy the rest?
Yes. RAM, storage, the PSU, and the cooler are in the shop on their own. The kit is for people who do not want to match five parts.
Is 850W overkill?
It is headroom so a current GPU is not on the edge of the wattage chart. Unused modular cables stay in the bag.
I can piece this out cheaper.
You can. You also buy extra shipping dates and the compatibility risk. The kit is priced as time and fit, not as the cheapest SKU on a spreadsheet.
What if a part is dead on arrival?
Unopened parts can come back within 30 days. A DOA stick, drive, or PSU is replaced. Use the contact page and we will sort it.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Checkout currently offers US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Confirm the country at payment before you place the order.
