It’s a plug and play experience–there’s no need to pick out any of the parts on your own or figure out whether they’ll all play nicely with each other. When your prebuilt gaming PC arrives, the most you’ll typically have to do is peel off any leftover protective film and set it up on your desk.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Just because you’re investing in the convenience of a <strong>prebuilt gaming PC </strong>doesn’t mean that you won’t have any homework to do, though. Before you spend your holiday money on a new machine, here are a few things you should check first:</p><p><br></p><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2>Is there enough IO?</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>IO or Input-Output should always be one of your biggest priorities when looking at a <strong>prebuilt gaming PC for sale</strong>. You’ll want to have enough ports for all of your peripherals, such as your keyboard, mouse, headset, and so on. You’ll want them to be the right type for your needs, too, or you won’t be able to maximize the capabilities of your accessories.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>You’ll definitely want to keep an eye out for features such as built-in WiFi or Bluetooth, especially if they’re important to you. Not all pre-built gaming PCs have these by default, and you may have to pay extra to change the configuration slightly to have them. If you’re the type of gamer who likes to switch between peripherals often, you may also want to look into systems that have plenty of front or top IO that will be easier for you to access.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><h2>Can the PC be serviced or repaired by the end user?</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>By far, one of the major draws of a desktop PC over a laptop is that with a desktop machine, you always have the ability to repair or replace any components that may start to malfunction or fail. Even if you’re buying your gaming PC prebuilt from a system integrator (SI), you should be able to freely change anything you want in it–within the terms of your warranty, at least.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>This means that it shouldn’t be a chore to get into your PC, and that the process of opening it up shouldn’t be made (more) complicated by the people who built it. Look for chassis that can be opened without special tools; you’ll also want your components held in place with screws that you can remove with tools you can easily find at home. Any removable component that is riveted or glued in is a bad sign. <br><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>But for our users this is a non-issue as all CLX PCs come with lifetime technical and labor warranties. This means that at any time you can reach out to us, send the system back, and we’ll handle repair or upgrades services for you.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><h2>Are all of the parts branded?</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>On your quest to find the perfect <strong>prebuilt gaming PC</strong>, you may come across systems offered at prices that are too good to be true. As with everything outrageous on the internet, though, you do yourself a favor when you approach these offers with a healthy dose of skepticism.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>There are a lot of SIs out there that utilize unbranded OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts in their builds in order to offer their prebuilt PCs at lower prices. And while there’s nothing inherently wrong with using OEM parts, it can be a little sketchy. Should that component fail, you won’t really know where to turn to for support or an RMA. At <a href='https://www.clxgaming.com/' data-mce-href='https://www.clxgaming.com/'>CLX</a>, you can be assured that every part of your gaming PC is branded, and that every model and part number will be disclosed to you.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><h2>Are upgrade options available?</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>One of the easiest ways to obtain the gaming PC of your dreams is to buy a standard prebuilt system and then upgrade it, bit by bit, later. If this is something you’re interested in doing, you’ll want to make sure, early on, that the system you’re buying now can be upgraded in the future.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>All of the PCs we sell here at CLX are upgradable! You can think ahead, plan for future upgrades, and never have to worry about being locked into the gaming system you bought from us. Our free lifetime tech support includes phone and online guidance so that we can guide you through upgrading your computer.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><h2>What does the warranty cover?</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>When you’re looking at a prebuilt gaming PC for sale, you’ll want to get one from an SI that covers the entire computer with a holistic warranty.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>CLX Gaming PCs all come with free lifetime technical support, available over the phone, email, or by using the chat bubble on our website. They also include free lifetime warranty on labor, and a 1-year warranty on parts by default. You can opt for our extended parts warranty, which will cover the entire PC for an additional 3 years, for an additional fee.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>–</p><p><br></p><p>This holiday season, treat yourself to a prebuilt gaming PC by buying one from CLX!
