I was delighted that SFX Tech was able to fix my desktop computer extremely quickly. They were able to diagnose the problem right away and install a new graphics card in my machine. I was only charged for the graphics card which is better than my old one and cheaper than I could have bought online. A fantastic service that I would recommend to anyone with a computer problem.

Very cheap computers, they do Complete set-ups (monitor, tower, mouse & keyboard) for 89, if you are wanting a computer for simply browsing that is.
i wanted a computer for minecraft and a few other games so i stopped by the store and asked how much it would be for them to build me a custom one, expecting it to be around 500 for a single set-up for a decent gaming computer i was suprised to be told that it would cost me around 200 and they will put the best gear in there for that price but made sure i was able to run minecraft and other games. i ended up paying 500 for 2 complete set-ups. I Am picking up the computers today, amazing store, amazing staff.
i have only spoken to davy in-store and he is genuinely kind, thank you.

Jim and all at SFX are really communicative, helpful and friendly. I have purchased items from SFX for many years and have never had a bad experience, would certainly recommend, and indeed I have already passed their number to other small businesses looking for a good service with an affordable price.
