Enter the Forge - The New Affordable, Powerful Creative Workstation
When you’re working in the creative industry, sourcing equipment that delivers the performance and reliability you need can stretch even the biggest budget to breaking point.

Get ready to stoke your creative fire and craft experiences that stand the test of time with the new workstation from Novatech: The Forge!
Striking Aesthetics
Working from the outside in, we chose to use the unique Fractal North tower case for our build. It features seven bridgeless expansion slots, providing extensive customization options within a deceptively spacious design. With a walnut-panelled open front for a natural look and efficient ventilation, the Fractal North stands out as a sleek, stylish chassis to truly reflect your creative flair. Nestled in the bottom, the Corsair RM850x Gold PSU provides a reliable, energy-efficient PSU, with its generous 850w supply providing plenty of head room for power spikes on those more demanding days.
Keep Your Cool
Glittering behind the tempered glass side panel, you’ll find an NZXT Kraken Elite 280 water cooler, which features a 640x640 LCD display on which you can monitor the temperature of your CPU directly, or glow up with an image or GIF of your choice. Utilising a high-performance Aestek pump and two static pressure fans, the Kraken Elite 280 keeps your system cool and optimised for peak performance. Combined with a fully populated stack of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 for a staggering 64GB of RAM, and integrated ARGB, the Forge offers endless visual customisation options alongside outstanding performance.
Of course, all of this is assembled with the utmost care and attention by our production team, whose years of PC-building knowledge result in a hard-wearing build you can trust. With expert cable management included in the build process, you'll find the inside of the case neat, visually appealing, and clutter-free to enable easy future upgrades or customisation.
Barrels of Storage
Looking behind the tempered glass panel, we’ll begin with the ASUS ROG Z790-F motherboard. Fitted with 3TB of SSD storage space and bearing six additional empty slots for further storage expansion, you’ll never find yourself short of capacity.
Plentiful heatsinks mean that you can rely on your motherboard to run cool for even the most intense workloads, and you’ll also benefit from enhanced network connectivity thanks to onboard WiFi 6E technology and an Intel 2.5GB Ethernet port, making it easy to communicate and share work with colleagues. Plus, a whopping ten USB ports enable a massive range of peripheral equipment to be supported!
Blistering Speed
You’ll also find the Intel Core i7 13700K, which packs an incredible 16 cores for lightning-fast performance. This powerhouse processor has swiftly become a favourite amongst our current creative customers, for whom a powerful CPU is a crucial element of hardware.
The 13700K offers a cost-effective solution that won’t blow your budget, whilst leaving older chips in the dust. Coupled with the Kraken Elite 280 cooler, you can be confident your system will remain comfortably cool even when you're feeling the heat.
Red-Hot Graphics
The Forge comes fitted with an ASUS NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti. Sporting NVIDIA’s ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace architecture and 12GB of VRAM, this card has the power to super-charge your creative process like nothing else.
With incredible performance in 3D rendering, graphic design, video editing and more, this card is indispensable to any creative professional, providing the speed and power required for demanding tasks. Encased within a high-quality metal chassis, three fans, and a massive vapour chamber and heatsink combo, the ASUS 4070 Ti provides the key to unlocking your creative dreams, by keeping your workstation cool and at peak performance.
Setting the Benchmark for Affordable Performance
The Forge sets a new standard for those looking for an affordable yet powerful creative workhorse. Our design team has carefully selected quality, branded components that offer both utility and power, whilst keeping price in mind.
This offers the perfect solution to creative teams struggling with outdated, underperforming hardware, looking to boost their performance whilst keeping costs in check, and our in-house expertise and passion means you can be confident your new workstation is built to last.
However, whilst we’ve spent a lot of time selecting what we feel is the perfect hardware for the job, we here at Novatech are nothing if not flexible! Perhaps a 4070 Ti is a little too much welly for you, or maybe you’d prefer a more traditional case, or a different cooling solution? Fear not; whatever your requirements, we have the time, knowledge, and ability to deliver the perfect custom solution, so take a look at what we can do!
