At Lithgow Tech Services, we’ve been busy building custom gaming PCs for our clients. If you’re considering ordering your own custom rig, here are a few key things to think about before making your decision.

What’s Your Budget?

One of the most common questions we get is, “How much does a custom computer cost?” The answer isn’t straightforward because it depends on your specific needs and preferences. While we could build an ultra-high-end PC that costs upwards of $20,000, that’s overkill for most gamers. The beauty of a custom computer is that we can tailor it to your exact specifications, which means having a budget in mind is crucial.

What Games Will You Be Playing?

The types of games you plan to play will significantly influence the specs of your custom PC. Whether you’re into first-person shooters, real-time strategy games, or MMOs, each genre has different requirements. When you come in to discuss your build, bring a list of the games you currently play and a few upcoming titles you’re interested in. This will help us determine the minimum and optimum specifications needed to give you the best gaming experience.

Do You Need Wi-Fi or a Wired Connection?

It might seem like a no-brainer, but it’s something worth considering. Many gaming PCs are set up to use Ethernet for the best connection speed. However, if you need Wi-Fi, it’s something we need to know upfront so we can include a wireless adapter in your build.

What Do You Want Your Gaming PC to Look Like?

One of the coolest things about a custom gaming PC is the ability to personalize its appearance. Whether you want LED lighting, a specific color for your computer case, or a unique design, we can make it happen. Just remember that these customizations can add to the cost, so factor that into your budget.

Conclusion

Building a custom gaming PC is an exciting process that lets you create a machine perfectly suited to your needs and style. By considering your budget, the types of games you play, your connectivity needs, and your aesthetic preferences, you can ensure that you get a gaming rig that’s just right for you.
