PC Building Simulator

This was a BLAST until about level 13. Constant bugs and achievements not popping has me FUMING now though.
-CONSTANTLY doesn't save my game when I manually save.
-Micro-stutters will stop your clicks from working, so you won't purchase some things you click on when shopping.
-And as an achievement hunter, I was excited to unlock all of them, just to find out online (after several of mine not popping) that this game is NOTORIOUS for glitched achievements. Awesome.

I love this game. I just wish they brought the sequel over to steam. If you don't already know , they have a sequel out on epic games. But I would still recommend this one as well as the story is completely different. Basic concept the same . Run a shop. grow business and build all the crazy PC you can think of. but all the new PC parts and updates will be on the sequel as far as i can see.

Awesome game, but don't make the same mistake as me and just buy PCBS 2 on Epic Games for newer generation parts like am5, intel ultra, ddr5, 40 series GPUs, etc...

This game is great, it's got the sponsors behind it and it's very accurate in almost every way you'd want in a PC building simulator game!

It's got all the major brands, the details are amazing, if you like to build PC's, get this game!

its a good relaxing chill game, fun for all, and learning PC componants

Full of bugs
i was bulding a pc for a customer but it always said thay the case was incomplete. I had put all the sidepanels on and it was nothing else to put on but it still said that the case was incomplete

I love this game, I learned so much from playing it. However, I do wish that they come back and update it.
It has a few bugs when being run on my advanced laptop, but had none on my older one.

Perfect game for anyone who is interested in learning how computers are built and fixed. Now its not extremely detailed about the real life application of the skills you'll learn but it does a great job covering the basics of PC build and repair for example learning what parts go into the build, where they generally go and the names of specific parts.

The game is good. It lets you make as many pc's as you want, and you can also play where you are a worker at a pc repair shop. You get e-mails telling you what to do, and it teaches you how to make a pc.

i think the game is abandoned. The best video cards are a geforce 1030 and the date of the game is 2018. no way to get new parts.

pretty good simulation of fixing peoples towers they send in. Upgrades, virus scans, and trouble shooting different scenarios while running your uncle's PC fixing store.

This game is super cool! It shows you how to build your own PC and You can build many without acctualy having to buy the compentents in real life!
This is a super good game!

Great game. Love to play more but this game hasn't gotten an update in over 2 years so it's been metaphorically sitting on the shelf of my library.

Good game, I played it a lot on Xbox, lots of jobs to keep you busy, only gripe would be that it's not online, would be fantastic if it had 2 player online co-op, other than that, it's pretty good fun...

So realistic, it has helped me learn a lot about computer parts making me feel confident enough to work on one myself!

Relaxing game, you can also learn something along the way so thats cool

After playing for 8 hours and getting to a certain level all of a sudden my character was slow. Please do not waste your money this has not been updated. I am now out of pocket.

i recommend this game to others because it shows a realistic model of how to build a PC

- Lots of potential with PC Building Simulator. Impressive that it has official partners on board with it. Surprised there was never a followup on this unique idea.

Runs under Proton on Linux.

This has a lot of potential, I managed to build my own PC in this sim, the realism is very accurate and with licensed products like NZXT and Corsair backing them you know there is no reason you should not try this.

its good i like it ,but pc builder simulator 2 is definitely worth the the extra money

This is a good way to start learning how to put together PCs. Not only that but its fun cause you get to build your dream computer to. Totally try it out yourself. ; )

Its a good game, just dont expect anything incredible or mind blowing.
There is good variety in terms of parts you can choose and while simplified the building process is technically accurate, you get the feeling of building your own rig and you can even customize the wallpaper of the PC you are working on but thats more or less where the gameplay ends.

Once the PC is built the only thing you can do with it is try to max its FPS, which is pretty easy if you are playing on sandbox or just have every part unlocked, there is no browsing the internet (even on a fake browser), playing games or running programs that would be fun to use, the pc specs hardly impact on anything other than FPS really (Maybe only if its built with real bad parts?).

So the only thing left to do is to play the shop management/career mode, which is cool but not the thing many people buy this game for, but if you enjoy that particular thing it will probably be a great experience for you.

But i give it a thumbs up anyways cuz i like cozy computer building and putting random wallpapers on desktop, its lego for adults and its good at that.

Well, you have to like computers, and fixing them to fully enjoy this game. If not, its not for you

I love computers and I love everything about that world. This game has captured very well what it means to be a computer repairman and what it's like to assemble computers. You have bills to pay, customers with whom you talk about problems, and sometimes it happens that the customer doesn't know what's wrong with his computer, and then you have to find out what the problem is (The dlcs are great so thats one big plus). Good game, but it lacks some content
7/10

still early into the game play, but worth the money, plays well on a steamdeck to if your wondering

need to update the game so you can use all the new serius gpus and cpus and cases

Was way different than I expected... but in a good way. You've got free builds AND similar to a regulator store simulator, but it's for PC building and repair! Love it so far!

received for free on epic, decided to buy it here while it's on sale. fun game

very realistic and fun ! very detailed as well !

this is very realistic when it comes to actually building a pc and it would be a great guide!

I think I can comfortably give this game a 8/10. Honestly, for someone who doesn't mess with my PC parts it starts to give me an idea on how computers are built- and what parts do what. (Of course, this isn't 100% accurate) but it visualizes it for me and allows me to mess around with PC parts and see what works best. Do wish there were more up to date parts but given the dated age of this game, I can see why. Overall, worth it.

It is a nice entertaining, time passing game. I've personally always loved the idea of building computers so this just helped itch that itch. One idea to make this game better is to add vr support, i feel like that would be so fun to build pc's in vr.

Not only is the game fun and relaxing, but it is close to reality. The parts are real. The problems are real. The trade-offs are real.

1000% Recommend. If your thinking about getting it, i highly recommend this. It don't have the newer hardware, Its mostly the AM4 gen and i think its 10th Gen intel an the 3060 GPU's. But i highly Recommend it!!

An excellent tuorial on PC building and repairing. But the only problem is IRL, you need to put the RAM in slots 2 and 4.

It's not that I don't like this or find it to be a bad game per se, it's just that I didn't really get much out of it mainly due to the pretty low frame rate which starting off, it wasn't that bad but after playing a bit more it was soon apparent how poor and laggy this game actually is but my main issue really just boils down to (like I said) the fact that I'm just not honestly not finding much of value from this game and not much enjoyment out of it.
Despite me clearly not being that big of a fan of it as well as simulators as a whole (so idk why I even bought this game to begin with, probably just cos I thought it could be somewhat useful and educational in life), I do have some positives towards it such as (like I once posted) the nice little detail of the computer wallpaper in-game changing to match your real wallpaper, the Halloween and Christmas decorations that you can change in the room, the soundtrack OH MY GOD THE SOUNDTRACK IN THIS GAME IS SOOOO GOOD AND HONESTLY I'D EVEN SAY THAT IT'S GENUINELY QUITE PHENOMENAL and of course also just the overall general cosy feeling and somewhat strangely nostalgic vibe that the game presents. It's just I don't think this is my kind of game so after hesitating with whether or not I should refund this game I decided to play on it for a little bit longer so that I can finally make my mind up and as you can see I did and I ended up refunding it.
Again I am IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM making this out to be a bad or worse game. In fact I'd probably just call it mediocre. My main critiques for this game are mainly due to a combination of (again like I've said) the fact that I'm not getting much out of this game and it doesn't run well in terms of performance (which is definitely as usual my PC's fault). There are still some specs of gold to be found here so please don't be disheartened by this review and who knows maybe one day in the future I might buy it again but as for now it just isn't my cup of tea, sorry.
If I had to give it a score though it would probably be a 4-6/10.
Anyway that's about it, see ya.

It is a great game to be creative on your ideas for pc building. I've made all sort of PCs and I love it.
I rate it a 8/10
Note: PC building simualtor 2 is only on epic games btw

Definitely not like the real deal, but if you're like me and just want to build PC's IRL for fun, but lack the access/resources to do so, this helps scratch that itch just a little.

I've always been really into pc components and building pcs. This game was a fun way to interact with pc building. I like how creative it allows you to get with the parts. However, it needs more current components, just sayin.

PC Building Simulator is a very fun game if you have an interest in computers and their hardware. Customizing PCs with the latest components and color matching your setup is satisfying, and running your're own PC repair shop is a fun concept. My biggest complaint with this game is progression, It takes way too long to level up and purchase more equity in the business. Other than that the game is fun but can also get very repetitive. 6/10

Even though this isn’t building sim 2 (what a shame it‘ll never be on steam) and most of the dlcs cost too much, this game is still, at its core, very charming in its own right and a great pickup on sale
Ever wanted to manage your own computer repair shop? A near endless career mode lets you build it from the ground up
Ever wanted to just build a pc from a big variety of parts however you like? You can do it right from the get go, the game doesn’t force you to do anything

Granted, if you aren’t into computers this probably isn’t your thing, and the gameplay loop, I can imagine, can get repetitive at times
That said, the variety of different achievements can still make you have a change of pace in your gameplay

And as a casual game for anyone that’s interested, it‘s great fun to listen to some music and start working on customers pcs :)

underrated game but i think that when you own more of the company you should be able to make a shop out the front so you can sell the pcs you make.

I'm Obsessed with PC hardware and am Currently really wanting to build a PC of my own (thanks Steam Deck for jump starting my Obsession lol) this Game let's my Broke arse Live a Dream... A Beautiful Dream...

P.S
Game Plays Rock Solid 45 FPS Medium Settings at a 10w TDP and 30fps Max Settings at a 13-15w TDP (Base Game Only but plan on Buying DLC for this Game later)

really outdated already but still fun to play. you just build and fix PCs. pretty fun

Good game wanted to buy the version 2 but its epic games exclucive not steam

I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to this stuff and I'm interested in learning more about it and I found this to be a fun place to start and mess around

Just an ad for "gaming" part companies.
The parts are outdated: 980ti for instance.
Everything is super smooth running and the graphics aren't bad.
Good time waster but repetitive.
If you're hoping to learn how to build a PC, this wont help.
Overall price needs to come down. Only get on sale.

Good game about building computers/ fixing other peoples computers, would get the 2nd game instead of this one though

A well done, technically accurate, relaxing sim that delivers exactly what the title promises
