While technically representing itself as a game (due to the main campaigns repair shop design), for those of you who played the original PC Building Simulator, I think you’ll agree that in terms of teaching you the basics of putting a system together, it’s a really good program. And, dare I say, even a pretty effective learning tool as well. – No, admittedly, it’s not perfect. You’re not, for example, forced to spooge thermal compound out onto the CPU in a precise measurement of quantity which you may get right or wrong, but for those of you with an interest in building your next PC, it was definitely well worth checking out.
Why ‘was’ though? Well, while it, of course, technically still is, the sequel is on the way. And following an official announcement, PC Building Simulator 2 is now confirmed for release on October 12th!
PC Building Simulator 2 doesn’t appear to be attempting to reinvent the wheel in terms of what you can do in the game. It predominantly represents itself as a significantly more polished and refined upgrade on the original with even more customisation options and real-world products available from actual PC hardware manufacturers. – With over 40 companies endorsing the title, you’ll find tech from:
Don’t forget too, the game also allows you the option to create your dream PC, with, of course, the bonus of not actually having to pay for all of those expensive components! You’re only cost is PC Building Simulator 2 itself, which, incidentally, is confirmed at a surprisingly low £19.99/€24.99/$24.99.
