THE APPROACH
POWER WHERE IT COUNTSPRIORITY: GPU
For most games, the graphics card has the biggest impact on frame rate, resolution and visual quality.
That’s why Helix puts a larger share of your budget into the GPU.
Everything around it is then carefully chosen to keep up, without stealing budget for performance you’re unlikely to notice.
COOL UNDER PRESSUREPRIORITY: BALANCE
More cores and a bigger model number don’t automatically mean more gaming performance.
We pair every Helix with an AMD Ryzen or Intel Core processor capable of letting your graphics card stretch its legs, without spending hundreds more on CPU performance most games simply won’t use.
You can spend more.
We’d rather help you spend better.
GAMING PCS PERFECTEDPRIORITY: FOUNDATION
Performance first doesn’t mean quality second.
Every Helix uses proven DDR5 memory, fast NVMe storage, appropriate cooling and a quality power supply we’re happy to put our name behind.
We save money by removing unnecessary specification.
Not by hiding weak components inside the case.
HERE TO SERVE YOUPRIORITY: YOU
Every Helix is built in Scotland by our own technicians and tested before it leaves us.
We check memory stability, temperatures, CPU and GPU loads and overall system stability, because passing a quick benchmark isn’t enough for a PC we’re going to support for years.
And once it reaches you, our relationship doesn’t end with the delivery.
Every Helix includes our 10 year labour warranty and lifetime technical support.
THE BITS THE HEADLINE SPEC DOESN’T TELL YOU
On paper, two gaming PCs can look identical.
They aren’t necessarily the same PC.
The power supply, motherboard, cooling, memory and storage underneath those headline numbers can make a real difference to noise, stability, upgradeability and how your PC performs over time.
Here’s what we look for.
Stable power. Total reliability.
We use quality, branded PSUs from trusted manufacturers, with enough headroom for upgrades and long term reliability.
WHAT THE SPEC SHEET MIGHT NOT TELL YOU
THE HELIX STANDARD
A Platform with a future
We choose boards with strong power delivery, quality components and modern features. Built to handle upgrades.
WHAT THE SPEC SHEET MIGHT NOT TELL YOU
THE HELIX STANDARD
Chosen to perform
We use cooling that matches the CPU and case airflow, keeping temps low and noise down. Even when you game for hours.
WHAT THE SPEC SHEET MIGHT NOT TELL YOU
THE HELIX STANDARD
Fast and reliable
We use tested, reputable brands for memory and storage. No random parts. Just speed, stability, and peace of mind.

Both make brilliant Helix PCs. The better question is which one makes sense for you.
UTOPIA GAMING RECOMMENDATIONUTOPIA GAMING RECOMMENDATION
AMD Ryzen gives your Helix excellent gaming performance, strong performance per pound and a platform with plenty of upgrade potential. If gaming is the priority and you want us to maximise what your budget can do, this is where we’d start.
BEST FOR:
EXCELLENT ALL ROUNDERFOR FANS OF INTEL
Intel gives your Helix excellent gaming performance alongside plenty of processing headroom for streaming, multitasking, content creation and work. If you prefer Intel or want your gaming PC to spend a lot of time doing other things too, it’s a great choice.
BEST FOR:
There really isn’t a bad choice here. Tell us what you play, what monitor you use and what matters most to you. We’ll recommend the Helix we’d choose in your position.
Built in Scotland. Backed for life. 10 year labour warranty.
THE BUILD
It would be easier to choose whatever components were cheapest that week. It would be easier to build the PC, run a quick benchmark, seal the box and send it out. That isn’t how we want to build computers. Every Helix is assembled by hand at Utopia in Kilmarnock, cable managed properly and tested as a complete system before it leaves us. Not because it’s the quickest way. Because it’s the way we’d want our own PC built.
BEFORE YOU BUY
Yes. The Helix is a starting point rather than a fixed build. The configurator lets you change every major part, and the price updates as you go.
Because expensive doesn’t always mean faster in games. Helix is about balance. We choose components that do their job properly, then spend more where you’ll actually notice it. The result is a faster gaming PC for your budget, without cutting corners on quality.
For most games, the graphics card has the biggest impact on frame rate and visual quality. Helix is designed to put more of your budget into gaming performance, rather than expensive components that may make little difference once you start playing.
Both make excellent gaming processors. We carefully select AMD Ryzen and Intel Core options that suit Helix’s performance first approach. If you’re unsure, choose our recommended option or speak to the Utopia team and we’ll help you decide.
That depends on the graphics card you choose. Helix can be configured for high refresh 1080p gaming, 1440p gaming or 4K. We’ll show recommended GPU choices and real world performance to help you match the PC to your monitor and the games you play.
Absolutely. Helix uses standard desktop components and is designed with future upgrades in mind. Graphics cards, memory and storage can all be upgraded later, and because it’s a Utopia PC, you can always ask us for advice before making a change.
Your Helix is built in Scotland by our own team, configured, cable managed and tested before it leaves us. Every system comes with our 10 year labour warranty and lifetime technical support, so our relationship doesn’t end when the box arrives.

Case
Our team have handpicked cases which offer the best in expandability, cooling and noise reduction for each of our systems. Now it's just down to you to pick the colour and exact model you prefer.
Processor
Thermal Compound
Thermal compound sits between your processor and cooler to transfer heat more efficiently, keeping your processor as cool as possible during operation. We recommend choosing an upgraded thermal compound as they transfer heat faster, and for longer.
CPU Cooling
Your processor requires sufficient cooling to operate at its peak performance. All of the cooling options below have been thoroughly tested to maintain or exceed industry-standard cooling levels for your processor selection. Upgrading your cooling can prolong processor lifespan, increase performance through overclocking (if available), and add to the aesthetics of your system.
Motherboard
RAM
Memory allows your PC to perform tasks in real-time. There are two factors in choosing memory: capacity, and speed. Memory capacity will have the largest impact on your computer's ability to perform multiple tasks at once, whereas speed will affect its ability to execute individual tasks effectively. Memory is available in both RGB and non-RGB variants. The following memory options are compatible with your motherboard selection.
Windows Drive
Your system requires at least one drive. The team at Utopia recommend M.2 NVMe SSDs, as they are extremely fast modern storage solutions that can dramatically reduce loading times in applications and games. TOP TIP: We will install Windows on this drive unless told otherwise.
Storage Drive
HDDs are slower than SSDs but are available in larger capacities with increased long-term durability. HDDs are best suited for media storage, such as photos, videos, and other documents. HDDs are not recommended for installing games or other applications.
Graphics Card
Your graphics card will have the largest effect on gaming performance, including frame rate, visual fidelity, and effects. Choosing the right graphics card for your system depends on multiple factors including your monitor's resolution and refresh rate, budget, desired features, and the games you play. If you plan on using your system for creative applications like 3D Rendering and Adobe, then getting the best card for your workflow is key.
Wireless Cards
Power Supply
Your power supply is responsible for providing clean, regulated power to all of your components. The following power supplies will provide the recommended power output for your configuration and have passed our strict quality assurance testing. Power supplies are rated by their maximum wattage threshold and typically run smoother and quieter when given additional headroom above the wattage requirement of the PC.
Operating System
Chose your operating system. While both Windows Home and Pro versions are available, the Pro version of Windows offers additional features such as BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop, and other valuable tools.
Remote Support
Transit Armour
