Description
What you're getting
Glen is the build I'd recommend to anyone who plays Fortnite, Valorant, CS2 or Rocket League and wants the game to feel instant. It pairs a current six-core Intel with a capable 1080p graphics card, fast DDR4 memory and a proper NVMe drive - no corners cut on the power supply or motherboard to hit a price.
Every Glen is assembled by hand at my workbench in Dollar, then stress-tested for eight solid hours: CPU and GPU torture tests, memory checks and real game benchmarks. You get the actual thermal and noise results for your machine, not a generic spec sheet.
Windows 11 is installed, updated and debloated, drivers are current, and XMP/EXPO memory profiles are enabled - it's ready to play the moment you plug it in.

Why you can trust these numbers
These are estimates, not measurements. Nobody can promise you an exact frame rate before your machine exists, and any shop that does is guessing at you with a straight face.
Each figure is the average frame rate that this exact combination of processor and graphics card is widely reported to hit, at the resolution and settings written beside it. Where a game is running with upscaling (DLSS or FSR) that's stated too, because leaving it out is how a mediocre number gets dressed up as a good one. Where a game caps its own frame rate, the cap is what you see - not a bigger, meaningless number.
What is measured is your specific machine. Before it leaves the bench it runs 8 hours of processor, graphics and memory stress testing, and you get that machine's own temperatures and results in writing.
