Godmode is a one man band run by me, Tom Wilkinson. I built my first PC at age 13 and absolutely loved it, it opened my eyes to computing and the power of knowing how things work. 18 years later I saw a bunch of quite terrible gaming PCs being sold on Trademe with "Fortnite Ready" as their heading and decided the market could possibly do with some better alternatives. So I made a website within a couple of days using Shopify and put up my first gaming PC, the second one I had ever built.
Business was quite slow to start, 1 PC sale a month then 2, then 3... then Covid hit. In an instant I started getting flooded with orders, so much so that I had to hire friends to help. We worked from 8AM to 10PM every day for months on end. Things aren't quite as hectic as that today, sometimes friends still help out but by and large it's just me building PCs.

Godmode started as an idea I had to build Gaming PCs for those without the know how or time necessary to do it themselves. It can take a lot of time and energy to research all the latest tech and work out what components work together, then there's the real possibility of the build going wrong and having to spend hours and hours trying to diagnose the issue and possibly spending extra to replace a part that was unknowingly shorted through not taking the necessary precautions.
With Godmode, my aim is to remove all these frustrations, making it as simple as possible. So on the website I hope to offer all the information you need to make an informed buying decision regarding which PC best suits your needs. Once you receive the PC and boot it up, Windows 11 is pre-installed, fully updated and includes all the necessary drivers preinstalled - meaning all that's left for you to do is install your games, tweak the graphics settings and see how amazing games can look and play with a well equipped Gaming PC.
