About PC Building Simulator 2

PC Building Simulator 2 poster

PC Building Simulator 2 lets you start your own PC business in Career Mode, learning to build and repair machines while upgrading your workshop and unlocking new tools and equipment as you level up. The goal is to turn a profit while going the extra mile for customers, watching the positive reviews roll in as your reputation grows. It is a simulation with a casual bent, built around the satisfying loop of taking in work, doing it well and expanding your operation.

For those who want pure creative freedom, Free Build Mode opens up more than 1,200 components to plan and assemble a powerhouse PC. You can install upgraded water cooling, overclock your CPU and GPU, and tweak RAM timings to squeeze out more performance, then verify your work using 3DMark and Cinebench benchmarks. Personalization runs deep too, with sequenced RGB lighting, spray paint and stickers letting you craft a truly custom rig, and workshop customization extending to walls, floors, posters and furniture.

The game leans into realistic hardware and software simulation, letting you optimize cooling with a Fan Control app and thermal camera, track power draw with Power Monitor, and add custom water blocks to GPUs, CPUs, RAM and motherboards. Rounding out the package is an original soundtrack of 18 tracks spanning genres from French Touch and UK Garage to indie rock and synth pop, giving your building sessions on PC a warm, characterful backdrop.
