How to get the perfect gaming PC setup with CCL
Level up your set up with these top picks
PC gaming can be an intimidating hobby to break into. For the unitiated, different computer parts and configurations can seem disorienting and assembling a PC by hand can be a daunting prospect.
But PC gaming can also be a cost-effective way of enjoying games in a way that home consoles can’t match. PCs can be flexible, allowing customers to choose which parts are best suited for their needs.
They can also be upgraded over time, so hobbyists can start with a modest set up before gradually investing in newer parts. Rather than forking over a lump sum every console generation, a good gaming PC can be made to last and grow as your gaming library grows.
Buying a custom built PC can also net you parts that are hard to come by on their own, such as high-end graphics cards. When buying a new PC from a system builder, there’s also the benefit of having a warranty, which can give customers confidence in their purchasing decision.
That’s why CCL are offering discounts on some of their gaming PC configurations, with a team of dedicated professionals assembling each PC to your exact specifications. There are even financing options available to help customers spread the costs over time.
So if you’re looking for a new gaming PC at a fair price, CCL are offering discounts on some of their most popular configurations. Whether you’re migrating from consoles, starting out in the PC gaming ecosystem or looking to upgrade to 4K, explore CCL’s full range of gaming PCs to find out more.
