But how can you know if you’re getting the most bang for your buck, or if a supplier is allowing you to have total control over the system you’re trying to customize and make uniquely your own?</p><p><br></p><p>Let’s look at how online custom PC builders help you design the right rig for your needs, whether that is gaming, editing, content creation, streaming, or anything else. We will also touch upon how we approach the most common problems people face when putting together a system on their own.</p><h2> <br><span style='color: rgb(224, 62, 45);' data-mce-style='color: #e03e2d;'><u>How do Custom PC Builders approach Price to Performance?</u></span></h2><p><br></p><p>There are many ways online stores try to strike a balance between cost and performance. Some budget-oriented stores offer to build PCs out of used parts. They usually do a good job at refurbishing components and offering good value for their finished products. However, there are many complaints about parts being covered in dust, or chips affected by degradation.</p><p>On the other hand, you have services that brand themselves as boutique or premium PC stores but try to compete by throwing in a lot of extras along with their products to justify their elevated price tag.</p><p>While both business models are respectable, here at CLX we believe that offering the latest parts and focusing on performance is the best way to ensure our customers get the best custom gaming PC for their budget. We put the power of choice in your hands with our custom configurator that not only gives you the ability to control your price point but shows benchmarks for performance with the options you select. Our systems come with exactly the parts you choose, clean of any bloatware, with lifetime technical and labor warranties, and our custom system builder shows exactly what you’re buying. No used parts, no elevated price tags.</p><h2><span style='color: rgb(224, 62, 45);' data-mce-style='color: #e03e2d;'><u>You need the right infrastructure</u></span></h2><p><br></p><p>A company not only has to offer great products, shipping, and competitive prices. They must also have the infrastructure to deliver quality every time and deal with unfortunate but expected problems some customers will inevitably have.</p><p>Taking care of the customer should be extremely important to any organization, and we’re well aware that digital users and gamers are incredibly discerning customers. Many would call them picky, or hard to please, however the truth is every element in your gaming rig is an essential piece of the performance puzzle, and users are aware of this. Moreover, many of them already know how to build a gaming PC, and if they choose to do business with us it is because they expect us to provide an experience better than they could themselves.</p><p>It’s the not just the little things that matters when it comes to custom PC building – it’s everything. Things like fan placement, cooling installation (seriously, have you seen crooked liquid tubing; it’s rough.), cable management, and even how much effort is put into packaging and shipping, matter and mean a lot to our customers. They all constitute vital elements in a build, so we pay close attention to them and make sure we have the infrastructure to deliver consistent results and quality.</p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><h2><span style='color: rgb(224, 62, 45);' data-mce-style='color: #e03e2d;'><u>Does Customer Support affect PC performance?</u></span></h2><p><br></p><p>As we pointed out before, there are things you cannot avoid in this business. A small percentage of computer components will fail. The good news is that, if a part is going to fail, data shows it will fail within the first few months after purchase. So, having a solid customer service set to jump on the phone whenever you have a problem with your rig, or even accept returns and ship proper replacements within reasonable time windows is extremely important.</p><p>This is especially true nowadays since eCommerce and online shopping became prevalent in the last two years. Many stores saw themselves ill-equipped to deal with waves of customers demanding products online, so their service quality dropped like a rock, or vanished entirely.</p><p>Fortunately, we found clever ways to keep offering top customer service and keep up with this invigorated online market, and the ability to sit down with our customers individually to help them pick their parts or fix minor problems on their rigs so they always end up with a gaming rig they can feel proud of.</p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><h2><span style='color: rgb(224, 62, 45);' data-mce-style='color: #e03e2d;'><u>How far can I customize a Gaming PC?</u></span></h2><p><br></p><p>One of the sticky points everyone encounters among popular gaming PC companies is their limited part selection. The most respectable PC builders out there offer decent hardware, customer service, and competitive prices. However, they´re not set to offer total customization or they skimp on less flashy components, like cases or power supply units, just to lure customers in.</p><p>Some brands even offer “proprietary” parts with custom connectors and shapes, which then impact upgradability as they make it impossible for the end-user to easily swap parts.</p><p>Our secret to providing the best custom-built gaming PC is that we provide the ability to choose and fully customize every part down to the most basic components. This, of course, can feel overwhelming for customers who are venturing into the custom PC market for the first time. To aide in this dilemma, we provide solid customer service and assistance, in addition to sharing resources that guide users through the building process and our custom configurator warns of any potential issues with compatibility should they arise. Not only that, but we also believe that customers deserve to choose among the newest hardware available and strive to provide products that aren’t outdated.</p><p>To this end we include metric-based benchmarks within our custom configurator that show how the performance of your PC changes in real-time based on your selections. This lets you the user know what to expect well before you hit the “Buy Now” button and gives you the ability to contact us or look online for additional assistance and feedback based on what you’re designing. After decades in this business, we found that it is better to offer base PC platforms that range from budget PCs and go all the way through to high-end gaming workstations, so that our users can start from a place that feels comfortable and suits their needs.</p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><h2><span style='color: rgb(224, 62, 45);' data-mce-style='color: #e03e2d;'><u>How to get the best custom built Gaming PC?</u></span></h2><p><br></p><p>We believe there is only one answer; check out our online custom PC builder, pick one of our starting models (I recommend the CLX Set for first timers), and start customizing your rig. The builder shows important information about how what kind of power and performance can expect and allows you to configure your price point both up and down, to design a rig that suits your needs. As you begin to customize the internals, it will show you whether there are any conflicting parts, what kind of FPS you can expect in popular games at different resolutions, and much more. Also, if you have any questions, we provide an on-page chat where you can ask our team of expert engineers and buildings any questions and get relevant answers and suggestions.</p><p>This process is entirely in your hands, and you can fully design, and price check your dream system without spending a penny. Only once you’re finished, comfortable with your choices and sure you’ve designed your dream gaming PC do we then give you the option to order the system. So why not take a peek and see what unique system you can design for yourself?</p><p>Head over to our <a href='https://www.clxgaming.com/gaming-desktops' data-mce-href='https://www.clxgaming.com/gaming-desktops'><span style='color: rgb(224, 62, 45);' data-mce-style='color: #e03e2d;'>gaming desktops</span></a>, choose a starting system and configure one yourself, and let us know how your experience goes!</p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p>"}],"id":"_4bq05v3sg","mid_image_path":"the-best-budgeted-custom-gaming-pcs-mid.png","sid":"pc-parts-benchmark","small_image_path":"the-best-budgeted-custom-gaming-pcs-small.png","sub_title":"When buying a new PC, it’s natural to begin by doing your homework.","title":"Building the best custom Gaming PCs that fits your budget"}
