Everything is authentic to the actual practices: from PC building, maintenance, diagnosing to a variety of licensed real-life PC components featured in the game.
The title explores its simple but nevertheless intriguing premise through the introduction of three main game modes. In the first PC Building Simulator game mode, you’ll get a chance to run a computer repair business. The career mode has you receiving various orders from your clients, ranging from problem troubleshooting and fixing to custom PC builds that must not exceed a given budget while meeting specified requirements at the same time.
The business mode has you fixing, diagnosing, and building PCs by micromanaging your finances, choosing different component delivery speeds, and looking up for PC parts online. However, these limitations do not apply to the PC Building Simulator game mode called Free Build. This is the ultimate PC building sandbox which gives you the freedom to experiment with a wide selection of different PC components and creatively realize custom PC rigs of your dreams.
