Meet Trace

I grew up in Lewiston, Idaho, where winters are cold and every gamer eventually learns how to build a PC because waiting for someone else to fix it takes too long.

Over the last 7+ years, I've spent countless hours building, upgrading, troubleshooting, and obsessing over custom PCs. What started as a hobby quickly turned into friends asking for help, then friends of friends asking for help, and eventually the idea for EliteBuildz.

Recently, I packed up my life and moved to Arizona to explore somewhere new, meet new people, and avoid scraping ice off my windshield every morning.

Now I'm helping people throughout Tucson build gaming PCs, streaming setups, workstations, and dream rigs that fit their goals and budget.

I believe buying a PC shouldn't feel confusing, intimidating, or like you're being sold things you don't need. My goal is to make the process simple, transparent, and maybe even a little fun.

If you're looking for a custom PC built by an actual person who genuinely enjoys this stuff, you've come to the right place.

Let's build something elite.
