We needed the simulator to build the perfect PC, and it's beautiful, available for Windows and Linux . It is a kind of 3D game where the aim is to build a Desktop PC by buying the pieces in a virtual shop and composing them to obtain a stable and performing system.
The simulator is really instructive and although, at the moment, it is only in the pre-alpha phase, therefore more than experimental and still very partial, it works very well and allows you to understand how to assemble a PC, how to assemble the pieces, with a very realistic 3D vision.
You can, therefore, select the components a bit like you would in a computer shop, then choosing motherboard, fans, ram, CPU, disk, and then put them together in the case.
The version that can be downloaded, for the moment, only has the tutorial that shows the case of an empty desktop PC that can be seen in all its angles, in 3D.
To select the components from the inventory you can press the i key on the keyboard while to buy the new pieces you have to turn your head to the right, access the computer on next to us and buy them in the shop.
The available components are, for now, quite limited, although the developer will add more and more as he continues to evolve and complete this simulator game.
After buying a few pieces, then go to the empty case, press i, go to the " miscellaneous " section to insert the screws (standoff) that go to support the motherboard.
Once the screws are inserted, you can continue in the construction process by inserting CPU, memory, video card, thermal paste, cooling, memory, hard disks and all the rest, following the tutorial that guides us through these steps.
For the moment the game ends here, but it is still extremely interesting, both for what is expected to be added in future versions, and for those who have never dared to open their PC, to find out, effectively and realistically, how it is made and how simple it is to build it.
The beauty will be to find out the compatibility between the various components so that you can simulate them before buying them, in order to try different configurations with parts that can actually be bought in stores, to see how they fit in the case, to measure performance and get ideas on how to improve your PC.
And if it evolves as a game, it will still remain very helpful to beginners, those who have never put together the pieces of a computer.
To download the PC Building Simulator it can be done on the developer's website which requires an optional free offer.
To download the game without donating anything, just click first on the download link for Windows 32 bit or 64 bit or for Linux on the writing " No thanks, just take me to the downloads ".
