This game teaches you how to build a PC and right now it's FREE 

I remember my first time moving from the country to Dallas and I got to experience Microcenter. I was looking for a Hyper 212+ for my 2500K, but I didn't see any on shelves. But then I noticed that the store had just stacked all their Hyper 212+ in a pile in the middle of the floor as it's own pallet. They really know their customer to understand how many people buy those coolers and making it super easy for several people to look at once.

Right lol I heard about micro center from this channel and realized the closest one is 6 hours away lmao.

I have to take an airplane or a canoe to get to micro center :(

I feel the same way about Frye's. I hate that where I live there's nothing but Best Buys and Wal-Marts. Recently my old speakers went out so I decided to invest in a proper speaker system but there was literally no where within 3-hours of my house that has something as simple as bookshelf speakers (the big box stores all only had POS sound bars or 3.5mm jack speakers).

I feel like for living in a city that likes to refer to itself as "silicon slopes" i.e. a major tech hub, you'd think Micro Center would want to invest in a building in the area...

Agree! I've thought that since the original PCBS. I was half bummed that the beta didn't include a GN Modmat. :(

That would be awesome!

Much be nice being rich 😂

go go home DAWID your drunk lol,

@@pondwaterjr you're* lol

I was like, I will financially recover from this! (Unlike if I was actually building this stuff.)

@@jdkarchivos i knot that brite,

Oh look another AMD RU-vid shill who never comments on how the 3080 destroys AMDs entire lineup for cheaper prices 🤡🤡🤡

high end pc-ception

Was looking for this comment 🤣

And then you play the simulator on the simulated pc and build a simulated pc that plays the simulator and then……

@@Hibbidyhai if you repeat this process over and over and over you will basically end up creating a black hole that sucks everything in its vicinity into the eventt horizon.. time is no longer relevant, gravity is reduced to just a theory and mathematical problems presumably are no longer present and life in general slows down to the point you can see yourself play PC Building Sim 2 on a simulated pc to build a simulated pc that plays the simulator to build a simulated pc.

@@VintageCR That is so cool, man!

be fun to see people trying a VR one lol.

Would be really hard to control but yea, it would be amazing.

@@ADunleavy oh yea especially if you actually have to plug in cables to the motherboard Without accidentally knocking down the PC or breaking something 😂 Sounds like a good idea for an arcade pc building sim Similar to surgeon simulator

@@llJeezusll This game isn't designed with physics in mind, I don't think anything you describe would work at all, I imagine it more like the Hitman VR game, where the VR part is just how you see the world, not how you interact with it.

Would be difficult af

I'm thinking about making an ITX build but I have no mony. It'll be like masturbation to me

You'll be able to get a rough idea. Same here though for my daughter for limited space.

Same here brother, kinda sad to see only the nr200p on there, hopefully more itx cases and parts will be added on release

Kinda wish I could do this but my current laptop barely runs what I do now

Just built a mini ITX build. i wish i had this haha it was a hard space to work in. but very cool. you'll be fine

I mean i get your point , but in a game what are the chances that you receive a faulty component. They could let us do that tho, just so we get more acquainted

@@ayush9790 im pretty sure they actually have component faults as part of the story mode actually, but IDK it's been years since i played the first game and i didn't play it much, honestly was relaxing but not that engaging long term, at least for me lol. I much prefer the real thing, with a few friends over and someone working the grill xD

@@TheOriginalFaxon i played the game to build my first pc , before i actually build it , and it was so relaxing to just pick anything and build, even i used to play here and there

@@ayush9790 yea I built my first PC all by myself in 2004 lol, we didn't have anything nearly that fancy. What we did have was Fry's Electronics and their nigh impenetrable return policy on anything that wasn't obvious customer damage (and there definitely were a decent amount of hard drives that suffered greatly at the hands of gravity during the time I worked there, at the very least), but yea I was just finishing middle school and my first PC, the motherboard and CPU both died together in a fit (as early athlons and durons were prone to do when their time came), and as a result my parents bought me a Pentium 4 with a nice big RAM upgrade, and a new 120gb hard drive since my 2 30gb drives were full of music lmao. Also acquired a Radeon 9800 PRO all in wonder a few months down the road to shove in it, because one of them bought it for something for work, used it, and then it was outside the return policy. It was also still one of the best cards around at the time, and was a godsend because it was the lowest card on the list when Oblivion came out (and it ran it fantastically despite missing some features because it was still really fast)

@@TheOriginalFaxon these first pc build stories are so nice to hear, hope more and more people get to experience the joy

Couldn't agree more....and apparently, it's actually being published by Epic, so.....

Fuck Epic Games.

Yeah, it is quite ironic just considering the history of Epic's thoughts and practices regarding PCs and gaming consoles, and with Epic focusing on game exclusivity for a hardware platform that is normally open and not being sold by a game console company. 😂😂😂 The Epic store lacks competitive features in its current state to welcome consumers to shop there. Sad... But a game called PC Building Simulator 2 gets exclusivity on a PC store platform against PCs? LOL As for free games or free gifted licenses, I can get those in other places! Humble Bundle is one of the sites that gave me plenty of those! Steam and GOG are two other places I got free games! I would rather spend money on games for the companies and get them through them a different platform than to support another platform that merely wastes time to make games exclusive, regardless if game companies get a quick payout and don't seek company deals elsewhere. That's okay though because some of the exclusives (and formerly exclusive) on Epic's store are mediocre, considering I played them on other platforms and saw what reviewers thought on Steam, Amazon, and Metacritic. W:TA-E (Werewolf for short) is one of those games. Many of these games are NOT only exclusive to PC (on consoles too) and yet they are exclusive to a PC store while on game consoles simultaneously. lmao Epic's logic is not helping their business! I was hoping they would give consumers something better than other platforms out there.😂

I played Subnautica from the EGS in VR and the same with Redout just so you know it is possible. Or do you just avoid EGS on principle?

Cap. Two words. Free games

Finally, someone else said it. I hate the routing for the aio hoses and the cables. It didn't completely kill the game for me but it was just an eyesore for a lot of builds. You'd think they'd fix that with the second version, but from the looks of it they didn't. At least in the beta version. Hopefully the full release will have polished these. I get tired of seeing cables being routed elsewhere when there's a perfectly good hole right NEXT to or UNDER it.

PC Part Picker has really gone to pot, in my experience. The maintainer has had to take sponsorship to keep the site running, and in doing so, has crippled the site for anything more than checking compatibility - because of the Amazon sponsorship, they are frequently listed as the only source with a given part in stock, even when other online retailers clearly are selling it. Pricing never seems to be updated decently for anything but guess who, and given the majority of these 'matches' are with shady, disreputable 'Amazon Market' sellers that have been known to literally forge hardware, I really cannot trust PC Part Picker anymore.

@@empath69 it was literally just an example, there are plenty of other PC builder sites that he could compare prices to

@@rubyredphoto ...and I gave my opinion on why using that one example site would not be appealing in my case. Not attacking either you or your suggestion, and sorry if you came to this assumption.

@@empath69 erm I didn’t I thought we were having a conversation but thanks 🤣

LOL I feel that!

Hopefully within about 5 years once my laptop is on its way I’ll be building a pc. I got a long way to go in terms of learning but I got the basics down.

@@lou-v9m brother what

Epic bought it outright.

When does it launch?

You need to get stoned first for the lighting to look right.

I don't think the effect you describe would be hard at all, they just don't bother, like they didn't bother to add cable management to the first one (the alpha already had it) or fix the rendering order to fix transparency and emmisive surfaces. And to top it all they'll surelly try to sell us the game thrice like they did with all the mini DLCs for the first one.

It is on its beta stage right now, so hopefully it will be fixed and improved.

What really bothers me is that, looking too much like the first. While some dev (on reddit) said the sequel would be more of a SIMULATOR, I don't see MANY improvements from the first one. MANY, there are improvements, of course. I don't buy much of how they can fix from Beta to final, I think it's going to be this a bit more optimized. I wanted to play with fan mounting directions, radiator fans, the AIO (and custom block) on the CPU to actually look it's installed, have some cable management.

I've sunk over 400 hours in pcbs1

Its Epic exclusive this time around because Epic bought the studio, so unlike other examples of Epic exclusivity, they have every right to do so this time around. By your logic, I should be able to be mad at Steam for making Half Life Alyx a Steam exclusive.

It really just seems like an asset update, with a few morsels of different gameplay.

They gave a reason why . Join their Discord server

@@inny74 Honestly I didnt know epic owned them. Although I dont enjoy exclusives on any platform I understand why they did it now.

@@DavidNgo86 cant find it, doesnt matter. The UI looks generally the same with some new mechanics, although the models do look WAY better like jay pointed out, maybe that required an engine update idk, still doesnt feel like they needed a new game.

I got a gt 740 with a xeon w3680

Bottleneck pairing

Thank you to whoever removed the bot reply

i got a gt 1030

i dont recommend doing this but if you want u can overlock your pc

You can do the same with RAM, as well as custom watercool motherboards

try putting it in low settings while submerging the cpu cooler in diet cola and ice. The double cheese burger and nuggets and fries are just a bonus.

sounds like you are in need of an upgrade.....well, you have come to the right place !

Please tell me this is sarcasm. These days, it's hard to tell.

@@claycassin8437 I think it is, the first one was a cash grab, just like building PCs IRL, so it already felt quite legit.

Ignoring the fact that Win98 is still propietary software, and they'd have to license it for each game sold...

PC Building Simulator - Uncle Tim Edition

Epic owns it now, so it’s an exclusive forever (unless they decide to sell)

@@snailrancher apparently EPIC bought the parent company a year ago... welp, greedy AAA industry gobbling up the little studios again. I hope the Fortnite money tasted good, he won't be getting any of my money anymore. Time to burn down Walmart again.

No graphics settings in beta

That would be siiiiiiiiiiiick

Naw the game doesn't require much to play it.

EGS exclusive because Epic bought the studio. You wouldnt be mad if Valve bought them and made it Steam exclusive, stop being hypocritical :l

THAT'S your reason for passing??? Not the fact that it is a PC BUILDING SIMULATOR?????????????

@@inny74 hard pass still. Timmy Tencent uses abhorrent tactics to undermine other stores, is a raging hypocrite and takes bloody Chinese cash. So hard pass. You're free to buy it if you wish to support that. To each their own.

Epic actually bought it. It will never be on Steam.

@@snailrancher They said that about The Sims 4, yet look where you can buy it from. Steam. Satisfactory had a year of time on Epic Games, and where is it now as well? Steam. It's only a matter of time. And I'll wait it out just like I did with Satisfactory

100% Fuck Epic Games!!! fucking greedy ass thieves.

my thoughts exactly!

Sure you can. I can and so can you! One day!

The developers are now owned by Epic Games, so Epic has every right to make it exclusive. So, by your logic I should pirate all Valve titles since they are Steam exclusive.

@@inny74 Steam has a good service. Epic has a garbage service.

@@Alec_Reaper Well thats a bit hypocritical of you, now is it? Quit with the double standards. Either get mad at Valve for making an new game for IP they own exclusive (Like Epic is doing rn for PCBS2) to their store, or allow exclusivity if the company owns the IP.

@@inny74 Epic has been the cancer of PC gaming, I don't give a shit if they own the rights. EA and Microsoft made the wise move of selling their games on a proper service. GOG at least offers DRM free classics What does Epic do? Pays devs to force people to use their barely functional service and make people wait a year for a game to arrive on a proper application. Even EA and Ubisoft have proper services that are miles better than what ever Epic offers.

@@Alec_Reaper well they offer some pretty good free games every week.

Oh also... The overall concept of the game is trash, not fun, and you'll get tired of it in minutes. I'm a hardcore Hardware enthusiast and let me tell you: Trying to actually OC your system or taking it apart and putting it back together Is 100000x more fun. The game is just boring

They gave a reason why they abandoned PCBS 1 if you bothered to join their Discord server
