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...

I love this game. I wanted to learn how to build a custom computer from basic components. A friend recommended this game and I'm really glad they did. While the game is far simpler than building a computer in real life, it does a great job of teaching what the fundamental parts are, how they fit together, and the basic approach to finding compatible combinations. It even goes into (very over-simplified) methods of tuning and over-clocking your CPU, RAM, and GPU. And it does it all in a surprisingly fun way, and with components that actually have real-life counterparts. Fair warning: Any computer you assemble in the game is not guaranteed to work as well (or have the same compatibility) as the real-world analog, so this does not stand in for a part picker. But it was quite amusing to be able to assemble my real-world rig inside the game with the same corresponding parts. Even once you pass all the story jobs, the game is still enjoyable, as the equipment keeps evolving. The developers regularly add new components as they come to market in the real world, so you can keep building bigger and better desktop rocket ships. Tips for new players: * You'll definitely want to invest in any and all screwdriver upgrades as soon as possible. That part of the game gets a little tedious pretty quickly. * Be prepared for occasional frustration, when a time-constrained job comes in that requires parts you haven't unlocked yet (that only happened to me in the early game). * Twice I made the mistake of accepting a customer repair/upgrade job on the same day it was due. Since the customer's rig doesn't show up until the next morning, it was an automatic failure. Seems like a bug, tbh, but easily avoidable if you're paying attention.

Currently learning about PC repair and this has been a great way to get secondhands-on experience, so to speak. It also helps to be able to fiddle with components of a PC after learning about them in a textbook without having to take my own PC apart for dissection and possible mucking up (I promised my bestie I would not mess with his glorious work that is my current build without him present). Great to get an idea of PC components, where and how they fit, and would highly recommend this for anyone just getting into ITF+ or A+.
